The folks at the Newport Yachting Center are jazzed up to welcome BridgeFest, a unique music series “bridging” the week between Newport’s world-renowned folk and jazz festivals this summer, ensuring you don’t miss a beat this summer! Running from August 2 – 5, BridgeFest spotlights local musicians each evening to keep music lovers satisfied when Newport transitions from folk to jazz festivals. The highlight comes on Wednesday, August 4th, when blues master James Montgomery performs in an intimate setting, under the stars and on the water, for the benefit of the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center! Be sure to check our website for the full lineup as it’s announced and to purchase tickets. Brought to you The Arts & Cultural Alliance of Newport County.
The Knorr® Great Chowder Cook-Off is only days away and we can’t wait for the big event to finally arrive. So we got to thinking, just what makes this smorgasbord of culinary concoctions so special? To get right to the soup of the matter, we asked our chefs what makes their recipes crowd pleasers. Some pride their chowders on the diversity and freshness of the ingredients, while others aim to push the envelope with exotic flavor combinations and secret spices. But the one element that most agreed makes the most impact? Passion and love! The time and dedication put into these creations is ultimately what makes them so heavenly to sample. With over 25 restaurants in clam, seafood, and creative categories, plus “The Clam Shack” clam cake competition, the Amica Family Fun Area, our Knorr Kitchen where you can put the seasoned Chef Timothy to the ultimate test, and the Mr & Mrs T Bloody Mary Battle, there’s something for everyone to make the year’s festivities stand a shell above the rest! Visit here to purchase tickets and beat the lines this Saturday, June 5th!
Nantucket Nectars Sunset Music Series favorites John Hiatt and Boz Scaggs have rocked the waterfront before, and this year they’re coming back for more. John Hiatt and The Combo open the summer series on Saturday, June 26th. Over thirty-five years after his first album, this travelin’ bluesman is respected and beloved by audiences and artists alike, including Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, Iggy Pop and Willie Nelson, and his encore trip promises to deliver a full-on feast of the soulful Americana he’s famous for. Then, on Friday, July 2nd, Grammy-award winning Boz Scaggs returns to tug at our collective heartstrings and woo Newport once again with his sly brand of delicately soulful blues. Tickets for both shows can be purchased at our box office or online at newportwaterfrontevents.com. Don’t miss your chance to catch these favorite men work their magic on our stage!
The Newport Waterfront Irish Festival might not be until Labor Day, but the acts are already lining up for their spots on our 3 stages of rollicking entertainment. Returning in the fall is the maiden master of the fiddle, Eileen Ivers; Ireland’s favorite female pop-rock exports, the Screaming Orphans; the unique Celtic roots-flavored fast-folk of The Town Pants; the romping rhythms of Calley McGrane & The Exiles; and the traditional Celtic folk stylings of The Makem & Spain Brothers. Back by popular demand, perennial crowd-pleasers the Tartan Terrors will up the ante once again with their infectious and over-the-top combination of Celtic music, comedy, and dance. And these are only the returning acts – just wait until we announce our newest additions to the already stacked lineup, brimming with Irish spirit!
