Is there no better community tradition than the Fourth of July Parade? The event continuously draws families and friends every year to downtown Newton to watch the floats, tractors and walkers go by as they toss candies to kids donning red, white and blue clothes for Independence Day. The parade is organized every year by the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce.
