The last Saturday of May is for the dogs. Or, at least, Saturday afternoon is for the dogs, when the Newton Rotary’s DogFest takes over the Hyde Center field. There will be vendors, dog treats and more. And the Newton Beacon will have a table with dog photography.

Saturday is also for the artist community. Open Studios, an annual weekend arts extravaganza, will include more than 90 artists at shops, studios and in homes throughout the villages.

There’s also a fashion show that mocks fascism, for those feeling both revolutionary and silly.

Here are five things to do in Newton this weekend.

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Hyde Community Center, 90 Lincoln St., Newton Highlands, will host DogFest. There will be vendors, a parade, treats and fun activities for dogs and their owners, including a photo booth at the Newton Beacon table.
