Events Committee
Want to be part of the magic that makes Newport such a vibrant, happening place? The Events Crew Committee for Newport Downtown Development is the heart behind all those fun-filled events that bring our city alive!
Picture crisp winter Saturdays bursting with live music, delicious food trucks tempting your taste buds, and happy couples twirling under the fairy lights. Or maybe it’s the energy of Forage Fest in May, where you can discover unique local finds and celebrate the bounty of spring. These are just a taste of the exciting experiences we create for Newport!
We’re always looking for enthusiastic volunteers who want to join our crew and be part of the team that makes it all happen. If you love seeing the joy on people’s faces and being a part of something special, then we want to hear from you!
