6 pm to 9 pm
The Newport Flower Show Opening Night Party has become the unofficial kick-off of the summer season in the City-by-the-Sea. And this year, it's bigger and better than ever, with more hours, more food, and more fun!
We've added an extra hour to give you more time to view the beautiful floral arrangements and amazing horticultural entries. You'll also have more time to shop among the Oceanside Boutiques and the new Gardeners' Marketplace for unique gifts, mementos, plants and gardening accessories.
And more than ever before, you'll enjoy fabulous food and drinks from local restaurants and caterers. Especially exciting is the new Explore Rhode Island Food Pavilion, sponsored by Whole Foods, which will feature a menu of fresh, locally-grown and produced food products!
If that's not enough, one lucky party-goer will win a $1,000 gift card from Brooks Brothers, another of our sponsors!
There will be plenty of other surprises too, so you won't want to miss it. Join us!
