NEWTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — Newtown’s "street fair with flair" returns on Sunday, June 9 with a day packed with family fun, food, and live entertainment.

“Newtown Welcome Day,” presented by Capital Health and organized by the Newtown Business Association, will unfold along Sycamore Street between Jefferson Street and Durham Road from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. rain or shine.

“Newtown Welcome Day is a perfect way to support your local businesses. It’s also a great way to discover and rediscover what Newtown has to offer,” said Fred Poritsky of FZP Digital, who is co-chairing the event with Rob Howell of WSFS. “It’s a great time to meet your neighbors, have a nice walk through town, patronize the vendors and check out the many businesses and restaurants we have on the street,” added Poritsky.

According to organizers, the day will bring "a delightful experience for all ages" to the street with a variety of activities, including food from local eateries, free entertainment, and fun for the kids.

At the heart of it all will be more than 125 vendors who will be setting up shop along Sycamore
featuring arts, crafts, and spotlighting Newtown businesses.

This year’s event will feature an exciting lineup of free musical performances and on-stage demonstrations, including rock, Irish, country, and blues. Performers include Krunga, Springbrook, Shamrock Shenanigans, Brooks Brothers Blues Band, and Turning Tides, with DJ Neil Cohen keeping the energy high throughout the day.
