The story

Newport Winter Festival in Newport

In Newport, usually in February, Newport Winter Festival gives Newport a reason to gather around The Red Parrot Restaurant. The visit usually starts around The Red Parrot Restaurant, where the day is built around food stalls, live music and concerts.

Newport's economy has long depended on a strongly seasonal tourism cycle, built first around its status as a Gilded Age summer resort for wealthy families and later around its sailing culture, beaches, and preserved historic architecture, all of which draw the bulk of the city's visitors during the warmer months.
