Newport Oyster & Chowder Festival

Taste your way around the Ocean State! Sip a refreshing cocktail and enjoy oysters and chowder from local growers, food trucks and vendors on the waterfront all weekend long. The flavors are distinctive to each farm, so this is your chance to savor a sampling of them in one festive atmosphere!

Oyster growers will be shucking alongside local restaurants and live music under our striped festival tents. The event is open to the public and all food will be available for purchase directly from vendors. Multiple cash bars will also be on site.
