Summer Concerts Around East Bay-Newport RI

By Joyce Campbell, Macaroni KID East Bay-Newport RI Publisher June 13, 2024

We are lucky to have a community that provides us with so many great outdoor events.
From concerts to food trucks to movies, there are so many ways for families and friends to come together to enjoy the Summer.

Events are added as they come in, so check back often ๐Ÿ˜Š
Although we do our best to ensure the accuracy of this article, some dates and times may change.
The weather may play a factor.


Please note while most concerts are free, some have a fee.
