World Class Acts Await 2015 Newport Jazz Festival

The Newport Jazz Festival has presented world class acts packed into a handful of summer days since 1954. This first of its kind outdoor jazz festival has weathered storms from rain to raining on its parade financially.

In spite of problems that once faced the festival, 2015 will continue the tradition of this jazz classic, presented by Natixis Global Asset Management July 31 - August 2. Mark your calendar for the 2015 Newport Jazz Festival.

The first festival attracted 11,000 people who showed up to the Newport Casino to hear Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gillespie and Ella Fitzgerald, among others!
