Join us for Halloween Window Painting 2025!

Halloween Window Painting is a beloved tradition in Newton; it provides a safe, fun opportunity for Newton students to celebrate Halloween and express their artistic side along with friends and family. 

The event date is Saturday, October 25 (rain date October 26). This event is open to Newton students in Grades 3-8 (under adult supervision). Each artist is assigned a space on the outside of a participating merchant's window on which to paint their masterpiece. The subject matter can be anything with a Halloween theme—jack o’ lanterns, ghosts, goblins, witches, owls, black cats or whatever painters imagine!

There are seven participating Newton villages: Auburndale, Newton Centre, Newton Highlands, Newtonville, Nonantum, Waban, and West Newton. Sign up early to secure a spot in your preferred village. If there are no longer spaces available there, sign up for the wait list or register for an alternative village.

Please register early! Priority registration ends October 10; after that date a late fee of $5 will be applied. Please be sure you have read the rules and guidelines prior to the event. 

Scholarships are available. Email culture@newtonma.gov if you have financial need and would like to participate in this event.

Window assignments will be announced Saturday October 18 on our webpage: www.newtonma.gov/culture.
