Newport Jazz Festival

Bags under 20”x20”x10” are allowed at the Newport Jazz Festival. Larger bags are prohibited.

Entrance assignments and door times are event-specific at Newport Jazz Festival. Use the entrance shown on the official event page or ticket, arrive early for screening, and follow on-site signage.

On site parking at Fort Adams State Park is limited and requires advance purchase of a parking pass. On site parking sales are credit card only, and cash is not accepted. Once full, attendees will be directed to an offsite satellite lot.

If you use a ridesharing service such as UBER or LYFT, please follow the signs for designated dropoff and pickup locations.

To use accessibility services, register for an Accessibility Wristband in advance with the form on the festival site or sign up on site at the Accessibility Hub, and you can add one companion (who still needs a festival ticket). The Accessibility Hub tent has shade, water, bathroom access, mobility device charging, and accessibility volunteers.

Food and beverage availability at Newport Jazz Festival varies by event and operating setup. Review the linked official guest information before arrival.

There is no re-entry to the festival grounds, so pack for the day. The Fort Adams Visitors Center inside the gates has permanent bathrooms and an ATM.

Tickets are delivered only through the DICE mobile app, and your phone is scanned at the gate. Only the live QR code in the DICE app is accepted; screenshots, email confirmations, and printouts are not valid.
