Happy Independence Day, Newton!
With the holiday on a Thursday, there’s a de facto long weekend ahead. But with many people typically out of town for July 4, there aren’t many events happening.
But there are a few. Some music, some dancing and a farmers market await you. Or you can stay home and relax. Summer has no rules.
Here are five things to do in Newton this weekend,
Friday, July 5
From 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., Beth Menachem Chabad of Newton will host a Musical Tot Shabbat and Challah Bake at the Jewish Creative Preschool, 349 Dedham St.
