Middletown

Far from just a quiet coastal town, Middletown, RI has a rich calendar of events and things to do rooted in its farmland and beaches. The local rhythm shifts with the seasons, from summer beach concerts to autumnal farm festivals. For a different pace, the lively scene in neighboring Newport is just a short drive away.

The Paradise Valley area offers a tranquil setting for outdoor concerts at the park and the annual Harvest Fair at the Norman Bird Sanctuary.
Newport Vineyards provides a year-round hub for culinary events, from its annual Holiday Extravaganza to lively farmers markets.
Seasonal gatherings are a local staple, including the weekly Music in Middletown summer concert series and activities at places like Sweet Berry Farm.
