The Broadway Street Fair is back! October 14th from 12-4!

The Street Fair will begin at Equality Park and extend all down to Farewell Street and into Washington Square.

The day will be filled with music, food,
exhibiting artists & makers and local non-profits.

This is a rain or shine event!

We strongly encourage people to WALK, BIKE or TAKE THE BUS to the Street Fair. For those that do intend to drive, please note that Broadway will be open to pedestrian traffic ONLY. NO PARKING will be available on Broadway. Please plan accordingly!

In 2019 more than 15,000 people took a stroll along Broadway, Newport’s historic Main Street and major artery into the city and celebrated the diversity that Newport is known for.

Please stay tuned for updates on the Local Broadway District Instagram & Facebook pages!
