Newmarket sets the stage for arts and culture

The Town of Newmarket is rich in arts and culture and provides several opportunities for residents to participate in cultural activities and artistic programs.  Recognizing the numerous benefits of a vibrant community, the Town is dedicated to preserving, investing and expanding its cultural heritage.

In October 2009, the Town of Newmarket launched its first ever Cultural Master Plan, which will shape the future of arts and culture in Newmarket over the next 10 years.
