It’s not clear what’s falling faster, the leaves or the temperatures, but hot cocoa season is here.

Newton has a bunch of ways to spend your weekend as the holiday season crawls into town. There’s a party just for fifth graders. There’s a craft fair, a sustainability fair and a movie, too.

Here are seven things to do in Newton this weekend.
