On Saturday, June 10, from 3-9 p.m., East Main Street will be closed to vehicular traffic as more than 50 businesses and organizations and thousands of people participate in A New Night Downtown.
“A New Night Downtown is the ultimate celebration of summer in downtown Newark,” said Downtown Newark Partnership Administrator Megan McNerney. “You can walk down the middle of Main Street with family and friends, experience a variety of food, meet with local businesses and more. There’s something for everyone to enjoy.”
