PHOTOS: Newton goes big into fall with Harvest Fair 2024

Newton celebrated the season with its annual Harvest Fair on the Newton Centre Green on Sunday, with sunny skies and warmth adding a little summer to the autumn festivities.

Thousands of people—Newtonians and out-of-town visitors—turned out to enjoy food, play games and mingle with friends. There were so many participating vendors that the entire Newton Centre village green and parking lot was a labyrinth of food, fun and smiles.

This annual fall festival has been a tradition in Newton for almost 50 years.

Check out these photos from Sunday’s party.
