Linton Memorial Fountain and Park
The neighborhood playground on S Lincoln where Newtown Borough runs its Friday-night Music in the Park through the summer, then packs the lawn for Fall Fest with food trucks and a DJ. The old memorial fountain gives it the name; the kids give it the noise.

Fall Fest
Newtown Borough's Fall Fest is Saturday, September 19, from 4 to 8 p.m. at Linton Memorial Park, 108 S. Lincoln Ave., the borough park across from the CVS. The Newtown Borough Recreation Board puts it on, and this is the third year running. The rain date is Sunday, September 20. The borough describes it as a family event with a DJ and food and beverage trucks, and the flyer names names. DJ Redman handles the music. The food trucks are Uncle Vin's, Sweet & Breezy BBQ and Dough & Company. Drinks come from Second Sin Brewing and Triple Sun, and there are games for the kids. The borough hasn't posted anything on admission or parking, so those two answers are still yours to find. What makes it worth the trip is the shape of the evening: four hours in a park, a DJ, a brewery on the drinks side and barbecue on the food side, and the kids busy with games while you eat. It wraps at 8, so dinner from the trucks and home at a reasonable hour is the whole plan. If the forecast turns, check the borough calendar or the Recreation Board's Facebook page before you drive over, because the whole thing moves to Sunday.

Shady Brook Farm
A family farm ten minutes from Newtown with pick-your-own fields, free wagon rides, and a playground by the farm market. Summer unWINEd concerts run Fridays plus select Saturdays, and the market stays open year-round.
Whites Road Park
Thirty-three acres anchored by an accessible playground that took a county award in 2022, built so every kid gets on the equipment. Free concerts run at the amphitheater on Tuesday evenings through summer, with tennis courts, a 0.6-mile loop, and a pool for the rest of it.
Perkasie Patchwork Coffeehouse
A folk and acoustic concert series that Perkasie Mennonite Church has run out of its fellowship hall since 1996, with dessert and coffee in place of a bar. The room stays small and the shows are kid-friendly, so it plays more like a living-room set than a night out.
