The Newport Blog: Folk Festival

Simon & Jeannine McGown, our newlywed friends now living in New York City, came to visit us in Newport for the Folk Festival. The festival took place at Fort Adams, with three different stages divided by the fort walls.

The crowd was immense, including those who didn't buy tickets but sail around the pennisula to hear the show.

 We walked from stage to stage to hear 11 different shows. My favorite groups:

 

The Avett Brothers - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros - April Smith and the Great Picture Show
