Market Day, the Newtown Historic Association’s 35th annual colonial craft and art fair will be held on Saturday, October 1st rain date Sunday October 2nd  At the Half Moon Inn – Court Street and Centre Avenue, Newtown.   

For over three decades the Newtown Historic Association has had Market Day.   This custom revives an old harvest season tradition in Newtown, where long ago, local farmers brought their crops to town to sell and enjoy a day of festivities and contests that culminated with a horse race down State Street. 

There are over 50 crafters, demonstrators and artists coming with a wide variety of interesting crafts, from bee keeping, quilting, rug braiding, spinning, fine arts, photography and woodcarving.
