Circle at Sundown

The Newtown Square Business Association, in partnership with Newtown Township and local business sponsors, is pleased to host the 4th annual Circle at Sundown, happening on Sunday, September 27th, from 3:00–7:00pm. The circle will be closed to traffic, and the event is free to attend, with food and beverages available for purchase. In addition, contributions of non-perishable food items, canned goods and full-sized toiletries will be collected for Kids Against Hunger. 

This year, the Circle at Sundown will feature an expanded beer garden by Troubles End Brewery, local food trucks, area restaurant menu items and lots of sweet treats. Luigi & Giovanni’s will serve their delicious, authentic Italian fare and provide al-fresco dining for their patrons. Food trucks will offer a variety of family-friendly options such as classic American, barbecue, Asian and Mexican fare and we’ll enjoy desserts from the circle’s newest member, Sweet Spot Gelato & Candy Shop. 

There will be two featured live performances this year. Joining us for the first time will be singer and songwriter Brian Joslin, who can be seen performing around Delaware County and the Jersey Shore. Returning this year by popular demand is Faraway Guys, a local band that is a favorite at local brewpubs and other area venues in PA and NJ. 

There will be plenty of children’s activities, lawn games, interactive chalk art displays, character appearances and face painting. Our local businesses in the area will also be well-represented at the event. Participating stores in the circle will be open for shopping, and there will be a wide variety of craft, clothing, gift and specialty vendors sprinkled throughout the event space. 

As in previous years, the Circle at Sundown is dedicated to promoting sustainability and minimizing its impact on the environment. Local civic groups who are working hard to make Newtown Square and its surrounding communities more liveable will be on hand to share information and answer questions. The committee is also taking several steps to make the event as eco-friendly as possible by encouraging the use of compostable serving materials and reusing repurposed materials in the festival design. 

Attendees are encouraged to join in the celebration of a more sustainable future! The fun kicks off at 3pm. Please note that there will be some seating available, but guests are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs, especially if they plan to stay for the duration of the festivities.
