The Needham Business Association' s Street Fair will be held Saturday, June 7, 2008  from 10 am - 3 pm on Needham's Town Common. Food, entertainment, children's activities, booths from local merchants and non-profits will be the highlight on the common. Many people take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy sales and gain valuable information on services and products your local neighborhood businesses provide. It is a wonderful way to connect with your community and experience what Needham has to offer!
Street Fair is expected to draw a larger, diverse audience in 2008; we look forward to seeing you there!

As with any large event, sponsorships are necessary to offset the costs of public safety requirements and entertainment. Sponsorship provides an excellent opportunity for your business to be seen by 2000-3000 local citizens. For more information on the benefits of Street Fair sponsorship, please call 781-444-7980 or email at nba@needhambusiness .com.

The Needham Business Association' s annual Harvest Fair celebration, will take place on 10/04/08, on the town common. Local merchants will be set up on the common to provide businesses the opportunity to showcase their products and services.

The highlight of the Harvest Fair is the crowd-favorite "Souper Bowl." Some of the most wonderful local food purveyors will compete for top honors in a soup taste-off with anywhere from 8 to 14 soups available. Winners will be awarded a "People's Choice Award" by the general public, and select judges also award a 1st place award to their favorite. The soup tent will open to the public (with a small "spoon fee") for unlimited sampling. What a great way to warm up and enjoy the heart of the fall season!

The Needham Business Association together with the Needham Park and Recreation Commission will be holding the annual Spooky Walk, October TBD, 2008 from 11:00 to 12:30.

The Spooky Walk is a great way to bring families into downtown Needham to visit local businesses and trick-or-treat. In recent years, over 200 children have participated in this event. Needham businesses participate by passing out treats to the kids! This is an excellent opportunity for parents (who accompany their children on this adventure) to become introduced to Needham businesses.

The Needham Business Association' s annual Blue Tree Lighting and Holiday Stroll will take place on Saturday November 29, 2008 in the Needham Heights Avery Square and the Needham Town Common. The Blue Tree has been a town tradition since 1954 to ring in the holiday season.

It's hard to resist the excitement of counting down those final seconds before the lighting of the tree. After the lighting, Santa rides into the Town Common and assumes center stage to listen to all the children's holiday wishes. Whatever your reason for coming out, don't miss this chance to experience the warmth and community spirit firsthand.
