It appears as if the trend of weekend rain will continue into May. Altough temperatures are expected to reach 80 degrees, so there will be warm weather to play in between rain showers. Grab what joy you can.

This weekend has a lot of music to drown out the rain. There’s folk music at City Hall, a family concert at the Jewish Community Center and e ukulele festival at the American Legion.

Here are five things to do in Newton.
