This annual community festival is packed with activities, food, games, music, and fun for all ages. This signature Newcastle event falls in September because that's the month in 1994 when Newcastle officially became a city.
Newcastle Days is full of activities for all ages. Kids and families will enjoy carnival games and giant inflatables, a petting zoo and pony rides, robotics demonstrations and an interactive junk chime, arts and crafts with the Newcastle Arts Council and Newcastle Library, and hands-on history with the Newcastle Historical Society.
