Newton Thanksgiving Market

On Tuesday, November 25th, we can pick up everything we need for our Thanksgiving feast at Newton’s 4th Annual Thanksgiving Market at The Allen Center in West Newton. There’ll be a local farm with fresh produce, pies, pre-made side dishes ready to pop in the oven, bread, cheese boards, appetizers, chocolates, fresh flowers, pantry products, hostess gifts, and a couple more surprises. Everything but the turkey!
