For the 52nd time, Newport will play host to the Newport Folk Festival.  Home to Bob Dylan’s first electric set and the most delicious chowder I’ve ever had, Newport is as picturesque as can be.  The festival takes place at Fort Adams State Park, right on the water where, in July, it’s never too hot and never too cold.  Tickets go on sale on Thursday, March 31 at 10AM here.
