The concerts are accented by the Hometown Carnivále for the kids and young at heart, Foodfest cooking up a variety of fair food and munchies, fine artists displaying their works for sale, The Garden at the DNDA Stage (a premium beer and wine garden whose proceeds support the Downtown Newton Development Association Inc., the non-profit organization that produces the event) and a sponsor fair showcasing the NewtonFest Platinum Sponsors.
