This summer, the Newport Folk Festival will return to Fort Adams State Park in Rhode Island for its 67th year. The legendary event will take place July 24th-26th. 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.
The Newport Folk Festival and its foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that works to foster and enrich the musical lives of young people by offering free music lessons, summer programs, instruments and more. The organization has provided over 500 students with free lessons and distributed over 200 grants to music education programs in 38 states. This work is made possible by the Festival community and supporters.
Last year, the festival also established a new Newport Folk Steward position that would identify an artist to aid in supporting the creative community that makes up the Folk Family, and to consult on the direction of the programming. Nathaniel Rateliff completed his inaugural year last year, and will return this year as Newport Folk Festival’s artistic steward.

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.

All Newport Folk tickets are mobile through DICE.
