It’s that time of year, when the street closes down and retailers bring their businesses to the sidewalk so consumers can shop on a car-free Newbury Street. This Sunday August 12th will be the second Open Newbury event of the year and we highly encourage you to come join us for all of the festivities! Stroll down the middle of the street and enjoy refreshments, gifts with purchase, family friendly games and activities, and much more from your favorite Newbury Street businesses. And don’t forget — it’s also tax-free weekend, which makes the deals that much sweeter!
Below are some of our top picks for Open Newbury offers. Make sure you also check out the full event guide link below so you don’t miss out on any of the fun!
