ANNOUNCING THE 66TH ANNUAL 

NEWPORT FOLK FESTIVAL

2025 TICKETS ON SALE FEBRUARY 5TH

3-DAY EVENT TAKES PLACE JULY 25-27 

This summer the Newport Folk Festival will return to Fort Adams State Park in Rhode Island for its 66th year. One of the most celebrated festivals in America, the event will take place July 25th-27th. The Newport Folk Festival fosters moments of hope through the power of music and community. It provides a safe space for artists to express themselves and to gather with the fans at Fort Adams for the community, discovery, diversity, celebration, virtuosity and bonds that make up the very spirit of the Festival.

Furthermore, last year Newport Folk celebrated the creation of the Newport Folk Stewardship Program that identifies remarkable individuals with a demonstrated history of enriching and supporting the legacy of Newport Folk. The Newport Folk Stewards will pledge to continually challenge and celebrate the Folk community by pioneering meaningful initiatives that impact the future of the Festival in significant and collaborative ways. Last year’s recipient was acclaimed artist and band-leader Nathaniel Rateliff who was chosen for his artistry, perseverance and continued allyship. As the first Newport Folk Steward, Rateliff chose to devote his three-year term to artist advocacy, fellowship and mentorship both at the Fort and beyond.

Newport Folk Festival encourages fans not to purchase tickets you see on the secondary market, or from any individual or corporate resellers claiming to have tickets before they have officially gone on sale to the public.

About Newport Festivals Foundation:

Newport Festivals Foundation is a 501(c)(3) profit organization with a mission to create moments of hope through the power of music and community. Best known for producing the Newport Jazz and Newport Folk Festivals, the Foundation spends the rest of the year working to create the next generation of musicians through music education and artist relief programs. 

Thanks to the support of our community, NFF offers music programs in our own backyard of Newport, Rhode Island, including free private music lessons, instrument donations to public schools, jam sessions, and summer camps. 

Nationally, NFF partners with festival artists to support music education programs they’re passionate about. Since 2018, the Artist Gives initiative has provided over 200 grants to music education programs in over 38 states, including instruments for public schools, funding for music instruction workshops for Veterans, Girls Rock Summer camps, after-school music lessons for children with learning disabilities, and more.

The Newport Festivals Musician Relief Fund (MRF) provides financial relief to musicians who have experienced unexpected hardships such as theft, tour cancellation, and natural disasters. Resources from NFF and donations from individuals, foundations, and corporations have allowed the fund to help over 670 musicians.
