This is just a collection of randomly selected and arranged photos from Saturday and Sunday, July 27 and J8 at the Newport Folk Festival at Fort Adams State Park in Newport, RI. The Newport Jazz Festival was this weekend. I wasn’t there, but hope to make it next year.
There was a lot more more music off the three principle stages at the festival this year than has been my experience in past years, and also a lot more people in the crowds who were obviously musicians carrying instruments, perhaps because of the open mic in the morning. I’ve also got some pictures of others in the audience like me! If you’re in one of these photos and not mentioned in the caption, let me know. I’d also love to see your Festival photos! Send links!
