Experience the Magic of Christmas at the Newport Mansions
Music, tours, spectacular decorations, and a special holiday shopping offer highlight the celebration of Christmas at the Newport Mansions. We invite you to make holiday memories with your family by visiting The Breakers, The Elms and Marble House, all decked out for the holidays.
Thousands of poinsettia plants, spectacular evergreens, trees, wreaths and fresh flowers and 19th century style ornaments turn the houses and their grounds into a Yuletide wonderland. Dining tables set with period silver and china and mannequins dressed in authentic costumes complete the elegant setting.
All three houses are decorated and open daily for tours from November 17 through January 1.
Purchase tickets online, or in person at any of the three properties.
