Newport Show 2025

5 The beauty, history, and vibrance of summertime in Newport is unmatched, and for nearly two decades, The Newport Show has been a signature event of the summer season. Welcome! On behalf of the Newport Historical Society and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Newport County, we are pleased to welcome you to this exquisite display of art, antiques, and timeless treasures. This weekend, you will have the opportunity to connect with, learn from, and purchase one-of-a-kind pieces from an extraordinary lineup of 40 exhibitors, including six first-time participants. Best of all, your attendance provides critical support to our organizations – two nonprofits that have deep roots on Aquidneck Island and are fiercely committed to serving and enriching our community. To further underscore the unique charm and elegance of Newport’s summer season, we are also proud to offer this year a special exhibition, “The Summer of ‘25: Sun, Sports, Spectacle.” Curated by the talented team and research fellows at the NHS, this exhibition evokes summertime scenes of Newport in 1925, including displays of early 20th century fashions and swimwear. Now in our 18th year, The Newport Show would not be possible without Show Chair Anne Hamilton, whose love for Newport and for giving back continues to make this event shine. We are likewise grateful to our business sponsors, Founders, and Show Managers Diana Bittel and Karen DiSaia for their tireless efforts. Thank you, most of all, to all of you for joining us at The Newport Show and for your continued belief in and support for our organizations. We hope you enjoy The Newport Show 2025!
