Newton, NC – With Christmas right around the corner, Newton is getting ready for the annual Light Up the Town celebration.
Light Up the Town will be 4-7pm, Saturday, Nov. 17, around the 1924 Courthouse Square in Downtown Newton. Santa will arrive at 4 p.m. and a lighting ceremony will be held at 6 p.m.
The celebration officially kicks off the Christmas season in Newton with the lighting of thousands of lights in the downtown area, followed by a wide variety of activities for everyone.
Holiday shopping will be a pleasure at local businesses participating in a free cookie crawl. Santa will pose for free photos with children in the 1924 Courthouse.
