Our famous flagpole is an icon in the community for over 140 years located on Main Street. This stately flagpole with its town seal “the rooster weathervane”, oversees many of the yearly events which grace Newtown’s historic Main Street. Come celebrate the end of summer at the Newtown Labor Day Parade. Join in as participants from around the region entertain over 5,000 onlookers. Halloween is another day of celebration on Main Street. Privately owned historic homes bring out the candy, pumpkins and ghouls as over 2,000 children go door-to-door for tricks and treats! The holiday season isn’t complete until the annual Tree Lighting. Luminaries line Main Street and surround historic Ram Pasture, a magical scene reflected in Hawley Pond. Also on Main Street is the Edmond Town Hall showing second-run movies for a few dollars.
