Concert Venue · Newport, RI
The Newport Folk Festival at Fort Adams State Park is one of the most historically significant music festivals in America — founded in 1959 as the birthplace of American folk revival, the site where Bob Dylan controversially went electric in 1965. Now a beloved annual summer event drawing 10,000 fans to the 18th-century fort grounds overlooking Narragansett Bay, Newport Folk remains a uniquely powerful experience combining musical history with one of New England's most spectacular natural settings.
