The 2020 Newton Halloween Window Decorating Event, now in its 21st year, will look a little different this fall but still remains a wonderful tradition in Newton, providing a safe and fun opportunity for Newton area students, as well as their friends and family, to celebrate Halloween and express their artistic side.

The event is open to Newton kids in Grades 3-8 and registration is only $10.00. This year in order to follow Covid-19 guidelines, students will make their artwork at home
and deliver on October 23rd and 24th to a participating merchant. Each artist will be assigned a merchants’ window in Newton’s participating villages on which to put up their masterpiece.

The subject matter ranges from jack o’ lanterns, ghosts, goblins, witches, owls, to black cats and more, and each artist has their own particular take on the haunted holiday.

Registrations must be submitted by October 10th. You will be notified of your window location by October 21st.
