Newtown Black & White Dinner
Up to 1,000 diners in black and white take over a closed North State Street at one long communal table, BYO picnic and decorations, with live jazz and a sparkler send-off at 8. Tickets are $44.99, nothing is sold at the event, and every dollar goes to keeping the 1906 Newtown Theatre running.
