Janelle Monáe, The Roots & Raye, and Jacob Collier are just some of the performers taking the stage at the 71st annual Newport Jazz Festival. The groovy outdoor festival takes place at Newport’s historic Fort Adams State Park. The fort was first established in 1799, making this one of New England’s most historic music festival venues!
Enjoy the salty air of Brenton Cove and the Atlantic while enjoying tunes from Jazz artists from all over the globe! The three-day festival is one of America’s longest running and most storied music festivals.
