What to Pack for Newport Folk Fest
Everything you need for a great time at Rhode Island's favorite music festival.
The look of Newport Folk Festival runs the gamut from funkified hippy couture to denim overalls and straw hats. But a few things are for certain – it should be sunny, windy and there will be dancing.
When packing for your trip, it’s fun to consider a few different looks for day and night. Day should focus on ease and adaptability while at night, you can really lean into that New England feel. Here we’ve shared some ideas to keep you comfy and chic for both. And if you need some tips on where to eat, drink and stay while in Newport, we've got you covered there too.
