HEAR ALL ABOUT THIS YEAR’S PLANS FOR NEWPORT’S 375TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

The Alliance for a Livable Newport (ALN) will be holding another in its series of free public forums at the Newport Public Library on January 23 to unveil a host of planned activities recognizing Newport’s 375th Anniversary.

Founded in 1639 by William Brenton, Henry Bull, Jeremy Clark, John Clarke, William Coddington, John Coggeshall, Nicholas Easton, and Thomas Hazard, Newport became the first capital of the State of Rhode Island.

Co-chairs of the 375th Anniversary Celebration Committee, former Mayors Steve Waluk and John Trifero, will be joined by members of Newport’s 375th committee in outlining the City’s plans for public celebrations, family-friendly activities, lectures and educational programs throughout 2014.
