On October 11, 2021, Newton held its first official Indigenous Peoples Day Ceremonial Celebration at Ablemarle Field. The Indigenous Peoples Day Newton Planning Committee is a volunteer group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Newton residents unified in our vision of a day of remembrance and education and a celebration of Native peoples.
 
Indigenous Peoples Day Newton's Ceremonial Celebration spotlights and celebrates the music, dance, poetry and visual art of diverse Native artists who currently live in the Northeast. We hope for this event to become a beloved annual event on our city's calendar.
