Newport is sailing into the most wonderful time of the year with the 25th Annual Newport Illuminated Boat Parade on Friday, November 25th, at 6:00 p.m. Spectators can view the dazzling display of nautical holiday spirit from many points on the Newport waterfront as the decorated vessels circumnavigate Newport Harbor.   WADK will broadcast coverage of the parade with host Martha Parker on 1540 AM Radio.

_

This year the parade is in named in honor of former Newport harbormaster, Tim Mills, who passed away suddenly last year.   Tim was a longtime advocate of the boat parade from its inaugural event in 1997 when he participated as boat owner and then as leader of the community event.

_

Viewing of the parade is free of charge, making this a great family event to get into the spirit of the holiday season.  Parade boats will rendezvous just south of the Goat Island Causeway and then proceed east passing Newport Yacht Club. Boats will then travel south along the downtown waterfront and then turn west to pass the Kings Park area. Fort Adams and then finish at the Goat Island Causeway.   The Best vantage points for spectators include Newport Yacht Club, Perrotti Park, Bowen’s Wharf, Bannister’s Wharf, and points around Newport Harbor.

_

“This year, the parade committee is delighted to have chosen Margaret Mary “Muffin” Dubuc, as Parade Marshall,” states Harbormaster Steve Land.  “Muffin, a local Newporter and avid sailor, was commodore of the Goat Island Yacht Club, a volunteer and fundraiser for many historic sailing events and regattas, and a consummate friend of the Newport waterfront.  The parade itself will feature a variety of watercraft that call Narragansett Bay home, including leisure boats of all sizes, commercial boats, fishing boats, and U.S. Coast Guard and Navy vessels,” added Land.

_

Magnificently decorated vessels will compete for first place awards in the following categories: Best Decorated Sailboat (commercial and recreational), Best Decorated Powerboat (commercial and recreational), Best Decorated Fishing Boat, and arguably, the parade’s most entertaining category, The Tim Mills Team Spirit Award newly named this year.  After the parade, an awards ceremony will immediately follow at The Newport Yacht Club, and the first-place prize winners will be announced.

_

Organizers encourage participants and spectators to bring a non-perishable food item to donate to the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center.  Items will be collected at the Newport Yacht Club.

_

Any organization, business, or boat owner that would like to participate in the 25th Annual Newport Illuminated Boat Parade should contact Sara Mariani at the Newport Harbormasters office at (401) 845-5815. Participants are asked to REGISTER FOR BOAT PARADE ONLINE by 12:00 p.m. on November 25.  If the weather is questionable on the day of the parade, a recorded message will be available at (401) 845-5815.  The event is sponsored by The City of Newport, The Newport Yacht Club, and Discover Newport.

Will Evans with Special Guests

Wilbury Theatre Group presents the Rhode Island premiere of Tony-Award® winner for Best Play (2016) The Humans by Stephen Karam, directed by Josh Short. Running November 17th – December 11th, the production features Jim O’Brien, Jeanine Kane, Rachel Dulude, Jessie March, Dave Rabinow, & Carol Varden. The New York Times calls The Humans, “piercingly funny… [a] bruisingly sad comedy-drama about an American family teetering on the edge of the abyss.” Tickets for all performances are $5-$55 through the Wilbury Theatre Group’s innovative Name-Your-Price model and are available at thewilburygroup.org/ humans.

“Few plays ride the line between comedy and drama as perfectly as The Humans,” said Wilbury Artistic Director Josh Short. “Stephen Karam captures the love and struggle of an American family celebrating a holiday together in manner that is funny, poignant, and moving, while also capturing the anxieties and fears that so many of us carry with us as well. The group of artists that have come together for this production is creating something so touching, and sometimes terrifying, and we can’t wait to bring it to our audiences for the shared experience that only theatre can provide.”

Irish American Erik Blake has brought his wife and his mother for Thanksgiving at the new home of his daughter and her boyfriend. His mother (affectionately referred to as “Momo”) is suffering from Alzheimer’s, and his other daughter Aimee has recently been the victim of a nasty breakup. The parents are disappointed that their daughters have left home to struggle in New York City, and worried that they are abandoning their values. The Humans tells the story of the quintessential family reunion: a group of people who love each other but still wrestle with basic human fears: old age, abandonment, poverty, and death.

The Humans is hailed by critics on Broadway and around the country. The Los Angeles Times said of the playwright Stephen Karam; “[Karam] captures contemporary American domestic life in such wincingly accurate detail that something at once eternal and urgently of the moment is achieved.” The Chicago Tribune said of its world premiere in 2014; “Stephen Karam’s kind, warm, beautifully observed and deeply moving new play…is a work filled with uncommon compassion for the kinds of people whom the theater often ignores.” The Humans was adapted into a film in 2021 starring Richard Jenkins, Amy Schumer, Jayne Houdyshell, Steven Yeun and Beanie Feldstein.

This production is made possible through a generous donation from the Florence Family Fund.

Life is hard but reassuringly predictable for a tight-knit group of friends in blue-collar Reading, PA. On the factory floor and in the local bar, bonds are forged, drinks are downed, and gossip flows. But when layoffs and picket lines chip away at their trust, friends find themselves pitted against each other in a primal fight for survival.  From its slow-burn opening to its electrifying end, Nottage’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play confronts race, deindustrialization, and the ever-shrinking middle class with humor and heart.

Experience the thrill of listening to Buddy Holly, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Etta James, Richie Valens, Johnny Cash, Dion, and other amazing artists, all in one show.

Rave On was formed to keep the music of the 50’s & 60’s alive for all to hear. Rave On will take you back in time to when Rock & Roll was just emerging, and the juke box and dance floor was all that was needed for a good time.

Rave On’s talented musicians are seasoned performers who have performed in a wide range of musical groups. Ranging 39 years in age from our oldest to our youngest member, we are proof that this music can speak to any generation.

Wilbury Theatre Group presents the Rhode Island premiere of Tony-Award® winner for Best Play (2016) The Humans by Stephen Karam, directed by Josh Short. Running November 17th – December 11th, the production features Jim O’Brien, Jeanine Kane, Rachel Dulude, Jessie March, Dave Rabinow, & Carol Varden. The New York Times calls The Humans, “piercingly funny… [a] bruisingly sad comedy-drama about an American family teetering on the edge of the abyss.” Tickets for all performances are $5-$55 through the Wilbury Theatre Group’s innovative Name-Your-Price model and are available at thewilburygroup.org/ humans.

“Few plays ride the line between comedy and drama as perfectly as The Humans,” said Wilbury Artistic Director Josh Short. “Stephen Karam captures the love and struggle of an American family celebrating a holiday together in manner that is funny, poignant, and moving, while also capturing the anxieties and fears that so many of us carry with us as well. The group of artists that have come together for this production is creating something so touching, and sometimes terrifying, and we can’t wait to bring it to our audiences for the shared experience that only theatre can provide.”

Irish American Erik Blake has brought his wife and his mother for Thanksgiving at the new home of his daughter and her boyfriend. His mother (affectionately referred to as “Momo”) is suffering from Alzheimer’s, and his other daughter Aimee has recently been the victim of a nasty breakup. The parents are disappointed that their daughters have left home to struggle in New York City, and worried that they are abandoning their values. The Humans tells the story of the quintessential family reunion: a group of people who love each other but still wrestle with basic human fears: old age, abandonment, poverty, and death.

The Humans is hailed by critics on Broadway and around the country. The Los Angeles Times said of the playwright Stephen Karam; “[Karam] captures contemporary American domestic life in such wincingly accurate detail that something at once eternal and urgently of the moment is achieved.” The Chicago Tribune said of its world premiere in 2014; “Stephen Karam’s kind, warm, beautifully observed and deeply moving new play…is a work filled with uncommon compassion for the kinds of people whom the theater often ignores.” The Humans was adapted into a film in 2021 starring Richard Jenkins, Amy Schumer, Jayne Houdyshell, Steven Yeun and Beanie Feldstein.

This production is made possible through a generous donation from the Florence Family Fund.

“For over three decades, the Ocean Mist has remained a destination for top-shelf live entertainment and great food. Their menu includes appetizers, burgers, wraps, tacos, grilled flatbread pizzas, entrees, and more. Breakfast is served daily until 2:00pm. The Ocean Mist wears many hats, breakfast joint, beach bar, restaurant, nightclub, and concert venue. When it’s all said and done the Mist can be wrapped up in one word, FUN.

Summer weekends at the Ocean Mist are packed with nonstop entertainment. Regional and national live bands perform every Friday and Saturday night. Saturday afternoons feature live music from the Ocean Mystics with a special feature artist each week from 2pm – 5pm. Sunday Fundays at the Mist is the perfect way to wrap up your weekend. Each Sunday there is a rocking band from 4pm – 7pm. Come to listen & dance to some great music while enjoying your favorite beverage and a bite to eat.

In addition to live bands, the Ocean Mist often has special entertainment and food events like a Wing Night, Taco Night, Bingo, and Movie nights. These events typically can be found during the cooler months of the year when the beach is not the star attraction.” – RI Blogger
