The Newport Beach Fest is set to light up Fort Adams State Park this Labor Day weekend, turning the historic waterfront into a vibrant two‑day celebration of sport, music and community.
Organized by Discover Newport in partnership with Newport Craft Brewing & Distilling Co., the festival blends the excitement of NFL legends with the fast‑paced energy of beach football, offering live entertainment and a lineup of local food vendors.
New Franchises Make Their Debut
This year’s edition introduces the Beach Football League’s brand‑new franchises, the Boston Generals and the Newport Admirals, marking the first time the league expands beyond its traditional venues.
Founded and overseen by two‑time Super Bowl champion Tully Banta‑Cain, the league’s commissioner brings a player‑first vision that emphasizes community engagement and grassroots development.
Festivalgoers can test their skills at player tryouts, enroll their children in a youth football camp, and enjoy a variety of activities designed to celebrate the sport at every level.
Beyond the gridiron, the event showcases the region’s culinary flair, with craft brews and distillations from Newport Craft Brewing & Distilling Co. pairing with gourmet bites from local vendors.
Fans can purchase tickets and access event details through Eventbrite, which serves as the official platform for ticketing and schedule updates.
With its unique blend of professional spectacle, emerging talent and seaside charm, Newport Beach Fest promises a memorable Labor Day experience for athletes, families and spectators alike.
