Newport Oyster Festival

The Newport Oyster Festival: Rhode Island growers connect one-on-one with the oyster-loving public, as well as the chefs and restaurants that serve them for a rollicking good time on the waterfront. Together, with our sponsors, Bowen's Wharf celebrates Rhode Island’s aquaculture with the intention of raising awareness of this amazing part of Rhode Island's economy and the people involved. Sponsors, growers, non-profits and exhibitors will be on-site during the Festival to educate and provide opportunities to enjoy the bounty of aquaculture in Rhode Island.
