The Greater Newton Chamber of Commerce's Fall Festival and Car Show fills downtown Newton, the Sussex County seat, with food vendors, live music, a classic car show and family activities each October. It has run for well over a decade as the chamber's marquee autumn event. It typically falls on a Sunday in early-to-mid October.
