Whether you’re slurping down oysters and clam chowder, dancing to the live entertainment, or browsing through our marketplace, there is something here for everyone at each of Newport Waterfront Festivals! Spend the summer enjoying national music acts, performing under our waterfront tent. Listen to the music, watch the sunset, and enjoy yourself at the Snapple Sunset Music Series, taking place June through August! Join us in June for all you can eat clam chowder at the International Chowder Championship, Schweppes Great Chowder Cook-Off. With food, entertainment for all ages, and chowder you can’t go wrong at this fun summer event! Fall brings cool crisp nights, the leaves changing their colors and three great fall festivals; Labor Day Weekend is a 3-day community event celebrating Irish culture at the Newport Waterfront Irish Festival, bring your appetite to the Taste of Rhode Island at the end of September with tastings of the best Rhody Restaurants and finally fall brings the International Oktoberfest so order a knockwurst, hold up your steins, clink them together and wash it down!

It’s all Here! At the Newport Waterfront Festivals!
