Sunday was wet. Very wet. At times, the rain was falling in what seemed like monsoon levels, drenching the city of Newton to the core. But in the Highlands, the weather didn’t stop the party. Newton Highlands held its annual Village Day on Sunday, with vendors, games, food and more.
Village Days give residents an opportunity to connect with their neighbors and see longtime friends in a fun block party setting.
On Sunday, the weather decided to test the Highlanders’ spirits, and the weather lost. Newton Highlands Village Day attracted hundreds of people regardless of the rain, and for some people the downpours offered a fun challenge.
Here are some photos from the event:
