Newport Oyster & Chowder Festival

Newport Oyster & Chowder Festival is back! The 2021 festival is presented by Bowen’s Wharf!

Taste your way around the Ocean State! Sip champagne and enjoy oysters and chowder from local growers and vendors on the waterfront all weekend long. Did you know that RI is home to upwards of 45 oyster farms? The flavors are distinctive to each farm, so this is your chance to savor a sampling of them in one festive atmosphere!

Growers will be shucking alongside a select group of local restaurants and live music under festival tents. Additional oysters, a full bar and other food provided by local restaurants will also be available on site for purchase.
