Newport Folk Festival

Concerto hasn't confirmed Newport Folk Festival's bag policy details from an official source yet. Check your event page or contact the venue before you go.

Gates open at 10:00 AM. Parking and parking shuttles open at 8:00 AM and the box office at 9:00 AM, and times are subject to change.

On-site parking at Fort Adams State Park is limited, so buy a parking pass in advance; on-site parking sales are credit card only, and once it fills you'll be sent to an offsite satellite lot. Accessible parking is in a designated lot for vehicles with a plate or placard whose holder is a passenger, with a lift-equipped shuttle to the entrance.

If you use Uber or Lyft, follow the signs for designated drop-off and pickup locations. Look for the Ridesharing signs at the entrance to Fort Adams State Park on Harrison Avenue.

To use Accessibility Services, register for an accessibility wristband in advance or on site at the Accessibility Hub, where you pick it up; you can add one companion. The hub tent offers shade, water, bathroom access, mobility device charging, and volunteers. Accessible viewing areas are first come, first served, and accessible parking has a lift-equipped shuttle to the entrance.

Bring a reusable water bottle and fill it at the complimentary refillable water stations.

A venue-wide re-entry rule was not confirmed in Newport Folk Festival's current published guidance. Treat exit as final unless event staff explicitly confirms re-entry before you leave.

Tickets are digital only and delivered through the DICE app, and your phone is scanned at the gate. No PDF or paper tickets are issued, and screenshots, email confirmations, and printouts are not valid. Only the live QR code in the DICE app is accepted.
