Newport Folk Festival Information
The Newport Folk event is an annual American folk-oriented music event held in Newport, Rhode Island. It began in 1959 as a contrast to the Newport Jazz Festival. George Wein, music manager Albert Grossman, folk singers Pete Seeger, Theodore Bikel, Oscar Brand, and other music promoters started the celebration. It was one of the first contemporary music events in America and continues to be essential in the developing folk music scene.
Except in 1961 and 1962, first at Freebody Park and later at Event Field, the event took place in Newport yearly from 1959 to 1969. Wein reintroduced the celebration in Newport in 1985; it has been hosted at Fort Adams State Park ever since. Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee said in March 2021 that the state was collaborating with the Newport Festivals Foundation to organize the folk and jazz events in the summer with altered capacity and a different approach.
The 2022 event brought back regular activities. One highlight was Brandi Carlile's unexpected guest appearance by Joni Mitchell during the festival's farewell performance. Mitchell, 78, had her first full-length public performance since the early 2000s and made festival appearances starting in 1969.
