Newport Show 2025

7 Special Exhibition Summer of ‘25 Have the ingredients for a perfect Newport summer changed in the last 100 years? How different was the summer of 1925 compared to today? This special exhibition by the Newport Historical Society invites you to step back in time into a world of elegance, excitement, and above all, entertainment. In the 1920s, cosmopolitan Newport sat at the heart of a thriving social milieu. The spirit of the 1920s is captured in this decade’s vibrant fashion, energetic music, and artistic dynamism. Featuring clothing, artifacts, and photographs from the collection of the Newport Historical Society, visitors to the exhibition will experience the glamor and style of the “Jazz Age” firsthand.
