Newport Winter Carnival

That’s a WRAP on the 110th Newport Winter Carnival — the oldest continuous Winter Carnival in America! ❄️🎉

What an incredible week of community, celebration, laughter, competition, music, snow, sunshine, and hometown pride.

From the planning committees… to the volunteers… to our sponsors… to every business that hosted an event… to every participant who bundled up and showed up — THANK YOU. 💙

This Carnival doesn’t happen without the hundreds of people who give their time, talent, and heart to make it magical year after year.

Newport truly shines during Winter Carnival week — and this year was a HUGE success because of YOU.

Here’s to 110 years strong… and already dreaming about 111. ❄️✨
