Newport Folk Festival turns historic Fort Adams State Park in Newport, Rhode Island into a shoreline celebration of songcraft each summer. Founded in 1959, the festival champions folk’s evolving story, pairing legacy voices with boundary-pushing artists from Americana, roots, indie and global traditions. Intimate stages, sea breezes and a fiercely respectful crowd set the tone for rare collaborations and surprise moments, from headline-making guest appearances to once-in-a-lifetime superjams. The nonprofit Newport Festivals Foundation anchors the weekend’s community spirit, investing in music education and artist support well beyond the bay. With thoughtfully curated sets and a picturesque, walkable layout, Newport Folk rewards curiosity and invites discovery at every turn.
