If April showers bring May flowers, we’re in for a colorful time next month. For now, just let the rain do its thing and remember that we’re still technically in a drought.

Besides, Newton knows how to do a rainy day. The villages are alive with the sounds of music all weekend, and there’s a play to go see, too.

Here are five things to do in Newton this weekend.
