  Newport Winter Festival

  Ten days in February with more than a hundred events, from chowder and ice-sculpture contests to bar crawls and live music, built to fill the town in its emptiest month. Most of it is pay-per-event rather than free. Bron ↗

  Summer season

  20 jun – 7 sepSchoolvakantiesDrukBoek vroeg

  A town of twenty-five thousand taking several million visitors a year, most of them in ten weeks. Thames Street, the Cliff Walk and the mansion car parks are all at capacity by eleven, and nothing takes walk-ins.

  Newport Folk Festival

  24–26 julMuziekfestivalBoek vroeg

  Three days on the lawn inside Fort Adams, the festival where Dylan went electric, and it sells out before the lineup is announced. The ferry from the town dock is the only sensible way in. Bron ↗

  Newport Jazz Festival

  31 jul – 2 augMuziekfestivalBoek vroeg

  The week after Folk, on the same fort lawn, and the oldest festival of its kind anywhere. Two big weekends back to back is why late July is the most expensive fortnight on the island. Bron ↗

  Newport International Boat Show

  17–20 sepBeursweekDrukBoek vroeg

  One of the largest in-water boat shows in the country, four days at the Newport Yachting Center in mid-September. The industry books the town's rooms a year out, so the week after Labor Day is not the quiet one it looks like. Bron ↗

  The coast turns two or three weeks later than inland New England, so the Cliff Walk and Ocean Drive hold their colour into November. The crowds have gone and the mansions are still open.

  The Breakers, Marble House and the Elms are dressed and lit from late November to New Year, and it is the only time of year the Gilded Age houses feel lived in rather than toured. Bron ↗
