Summer fun continues, but with temperatures expected to be not quite as hot as last weekend.
On tap for your family and friends to enjoy are a couple of concerts. One of them is Cuban salsa, for those who like a little spice in their swing. For the teens, there’s a birthday cake taste testing at the Newton Free Library.
Here are five things to do in Newton this weekend.
Friday, July 10
From 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., the Newton Free Library will have a birthday-cake-flavored snacks taste testing for tweens and teens in grades 5 through 12.
From 6 to 8 p.m., The Gringo Kings, a Cuban-inspired salsa and swing band, will perform a concert at the Hyde Community Center, 90 Lincoln St., Newton Highlands.
