==Cultural features== Several blocks of Main Street in Newburgh have been intentionally groomed to give off a historic village "river town" air.<ref name="Comprehensive Plan" /> Each summer, Newburgh hosts a number of festivals, including a Wine, Art & Jazz Festival; Fiddler Fest; and the Strawberry Festival.<ref name="Events">{{cite web | url=http://www.historicnewburgh.org/?q=node/6 | title=Newburgh Events | publisher=Downtown Newburgh | access-date=January 7, 2013}}</ref> Some events are held on the shore of the river near the town's lock and dam, with others in the antique downtown section of Newburgh. Summerfest (formerly called the Summer Social), held at St. John's Catholic Parish and School during the month of June. Each fall, the historic downtown association hosts popular "Ghost Walks" where attendees learn of the town's history of mining, the Civil War, and the Underground Railroad.<ref name="Events" /> The first weekend in December features a downtown Christmas celebration with over 60 people dressed in period costumes, carolers, and street musicians.<ref name="Events" /> Trolley tours, photos with Santa, and the Newburgh tree lighting ceremony are also part of "Newburgh Celebrates Christmas." Newburgh has several municipal parks. A bicycle and pedestrian trail extend along the riverfront, with plans to eventually link it up with Evansville's trail system and tie into the wider [[American Discovery Trail]]. In 2006, the [[United States Senior Men's Amateur Golf Championship]] was hosted in [[Warrick County]], not far from Newburgh, at the [[Victoria National Golf Course]].
