The cool air, the pops of color on the trees, the crunch of the fallen leaves blanketing the edges of the sidewalks: It’s autumn in Newton.

This weekend brings a feast for the senses, with sweater weather creeping in and the smell of pumpkin spice and apple cinnamon wafting through the air. There’s music, cinema and visual art. Temperatures are expected to be down in the low 50s, making for a nice Paddy’s Road Race. And it all culminates on Sunday with the Harvest Fair in Newton Centre.

Here are 10 things to do in Newton this weekend.

Friday, Oct. 16

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., All Newton Music School will host a Con Brio Lunch, with coffee and a sandwich, in lobby-turned-café at 321 Chestnut St., West Newton.

From 7 to 8 p.m., the Scandinavian Cultural Center will host “Impressions,” a concert featuring pieces connected to a style of art that either influenced the piece directly or was heavily prominent in the region where it was created at the time it was written.
