Bowen's Wharf Seafood Festival

Historic Bowen’s Wharf in downtown Newport, RI, will host the 33rd annual Bowen’s Wharf Seafood Festival. Named one of the "10 Fabulous Fall Festivals on the Coast", this event is an open invitation for all to come back to the waterfront after the rush of the summer season!

Honoring the “Harvest of the Sea,” the Bowen’s Wharf Seafood Festival offers fresh, local seafood. Fish tacos, lobster rolls, stuffies, chowder, fried calamari, clams, oysters, signature cocktails and cold beer accompany continuous live music, and family fun, all beneath the Wharf’s colorful tents. Other neighboring restaurants and fisherman’s associations serve up their most celebrated seafood dishes as well as a few dishes for landlubbers and kids.

As you savor some delectable dishes, relax and enjoy the beats from area musicians. Live folk, surf rock, Caribbean and blues music are just a taste of what you’ll hear. Bring your dancing shoes because these bands promise to get your feet moving!

Bring the whole family and join the many locals and devoted visitors over the course of this two-day event.
