When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s Festa.

And Festa is taking over Nonantum from Wednesday night through Sunday, with a parade and services honoring Mother Mary on Sunday. If y0u’re an Elvis fan, you’ll love Festa’s Saturday performances. If carnivals and carbs aren’t your thing, there’s a bounty of other events and activities for you. And aside from a 50 percent chance of some rain on Sunday, the weather forecast looks beautiful.

Here are seven things to do in Newton this weekend.
