NEWPORT The Newport Folk Festival kicked off to a smooth start with “palpable excitement in the air,” as one festival-goer put it during the city’s first major post-COVID vaccine event.
Diehard fans could not wait for the action to begin, including Dylan Hall of Peachland, Ontario, who had a six-day journey before arriving at the gates.
“I still can’t believe I’m here,” he said. “I drove 45 hours from Peachland to Toronto. The land and sea borders were closed, but not the air border. I flew to Boston, took the train to Providence and finally the bus to Newport.”

The Vail Town Council on Tuesday agreed to provide an extra $480,000 to a pair of early ski season events.
The weeks between Vail’s Opening Day and the Christmas holidays can be pretty quiet. Events add some bounce to those days. With that in mind, the council asked staff to find extra money to enhance those events, each of which is aimed at a somewhat different audience.
The council agreed to boost funding for December’s Powabunga festival, set for Dec. 9-12, from about $120,000 to $300,000. The extra funding will help enhance the talent to be booked.
