7th Annual Newport Oyster & Chowder Festival
May 20-21, 2023
Saturday & Sunday 11am-6pm
FREE ADMISSION
Taste your way around the Ocean State! Sip a refreshing cocktail and enjoy oysters and chowder from local growers and vendors on the waterfront all weekend long. Did you know that RI is home to upwards of 45 oyster farms? 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.
Volunteer
We’re excited to be partnering with Clean Ocean Access to reduce our landfill impact and promote sustainability practices at the event. Our focus will be waste diversion and public engagement through composting, in support of their Healthy Soils Healthy Seas RI initiative. We’ll have several multi-bin waste stations managed by volunteers to help festival attendees separate landfill waste from composted material, recycling and oyster shells.
