Celebrating the 55th annual Newport Loyalty Day & Sea Fair Festival. Along with our traditional hometown parade, held Saturday, April 30th. Newport Loyalty Day’s festivities include the Queen’s Coronation, Davis Show carnival, cars shows hosted throughout town, Coast Hills Running Club's Fun Run, Vietnam Veteran’s remembrance with our annual Memorial Reading of the Names and the Field of Flags  just to name a few of the many activites you will find in Newport.

Loyalty Day was originated by the Veterans of Foreign War (VFW) on the East Coast, with Newport’s Veteran’s starting our local Loyalty Day celebration in May of 1956. As the celebration continued to spread throughout the nation, Congress wrote a Joint Resolution and President Eisenhower signed the Bill into law designating the First of May as Loyalty Day, a special day set aside for the recognition of the heritage of American freedom.

With Newport’s strong support of the Loyalty Day tradition, it's designation as a Coast Guard City USA, it's world class Aquarium, Marine Science Center, offices for NOAA's Marine and Aviation operations, lighthouses, galleries, restaurants, hotels and of course the magnificent Pacific Ocean, Newport offers fun for the entire family. 

Join us for the day or the entire weekend !
