Market Day

Calendar of Events

Market Day is October 3, 2026, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Rain Date October 4.



Market Day is an annual Newtown tradition in its 49th year that takes place in the historic borough streets and is highly anticipated by our close community and surrounding Bucks County.

Market Day celebrates the colonial tradition of local farmers and homesteaders bringing their crops, livestock, and homemade wares into town to sell to neighbors and townspeople. It has transformed throughout the years to feature high-quality fine artists, crafters, and food artisans.

Market day is family friendly, with colonial-era demonstrations, reenactments, and activities. There will be two stage areas with live music, and there will be an eatery area with food from food trucks and artisan bites.

This event is organized by a team of dedicated volunteers and community members. All proceeds from Market Day support the Newtown Historic Association.
