Newport Bridgefest

Folk and jazz lovers flock to Newport each summer for George Wein’s long standing Newport Folk Festival and Newport Jazz Festival.  The Arts & Cultural Alliance of Newport County created BridgeFest to BRIDGE these two world famous festivals by giving music enthusiasts a reason to stay and locals a reason to celebrate by making Newport County an utterly eclectic musical haven. Now music aficionados can enjoy Newport’s exciting music scene and music related activities during an entire 10 day period. Working in collaboration with The Newport Festival Foundation, BridgeFest supports Newport’s local music scene.
