Held for nearly 50 years on the streets surrounding the historic Half-Moon Inn (Court Street and Centre Avenue), the free, family-friendly event offers a glimpse into colonial America with 80 artisans and craftspeople selling their wares, creating an immersive experience reminiscent of Newtown’s early days.

Attendees will also enjoy live music, food, and colonial activities including historic reenactments, puppet shows, candle making, hayrides, and craft demonstrations. 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 through the years to feature high-quality artists, crafters, entertainment and food.
