It's a Wrap For the Newport Folk Festival

The three day festival finished strong on Sunday


Despite the forecast for rain, The Newport Folk Festival finished strong Sunday with a packed house for popular headliners such as Beck and the Lumineers.

The three day performance hosted almost 50 bands on multiple stages at Fort Adams State Park. Tickets for Saturday and Sunday sold out faster than any year in the festival's 54 year history.
