Just in time for summer, the popular Providence-to Just in time for summer, the popular Providence-to-Newport Ferry is back on the water starting Friday, June 20. Operated by Seastreak, the ferry offers four daily roundtrips seven days a week through Columbus Day weekend, with weekend stops in Bristol once again included. The hour-long ride aboard the Ocean State glides down Narragansett Bay, under the Newport Bridge, and ends on America’s Cup Avenue in Newport. It’s a scenic and stress-free alternative to the drive between the two cities, avoiding highway congestion and parking hassles. Fares remain unchanged from last year: $12 one-way for adults, $6 for children, seniors, and individuals with disabilities or Medicare cards. Round-trip fares are $24 and $12, respectively. Bikes and pets ride free, and parking is complimentary at the Providence terminal located at 25 Portugal Parkway. Tickets can be purchased at RideTheBayRI.com, by calling 1-800-BOATRIDE, or in person at terminals. Now in its 10th season, the ferry was launched by the Rhode Island Department of Transportation in 2016 to reduce vehicle traffic and emissions. RIDOT will also offer special holiday service to the Bristol Fourth of July Parade. “Affordable, convenient, and family-friendly, the Providence-Newport Ferry is a Rhode Island summer favorite,” said Governor Dan McKee. Amtrak riders can purchase joint rail-and-ferry tickets to Newport, and RIPTA will continue providing free shuttle service between the Providence terminal and downtown destinations including the train station and Kennedy Plaza. #providenceri #newportri #newportbuzz
A powerful blend of history and forward momentum w A powerful blend of history and forward momentum was on display Thursday as The Miriam Hospital opened a 75-year-old time capsule buried in the cornerstone of its former building—once home to the Jewish Orphanage of Rhode Island. Sealed in 1950 by then-hospital president Benjamin Brier, the capsule was unearthed during a ceremony kicking off the hospital’s long-anticipated modernization project. The event drew dozens of guests, including staff, supporters, and local leaders, all gathered on the hospital lawn to witness the unveiling. Among the honored guests was Jeffrey G. Brier, Benjamin Brier’s grandson and former chairman of the hospital’s board, who joined Hospital President Maria Ducharme, DNP, RN, in revealing the capsule’s contents. Inside: a Providence Journal Sunday edition, a 1925 Jewish Advocate newspaper dedicated to the Parade Street Hospital dedication, letters from dignitaries including then-Gov. Dennis J. Roberts, a 1950 ceremony program, and several 1951 dimes. “These items are more than just a reminder of our past,” said Ducharme. “They are a testament to the enduring values of compassion, resilience, and community that continue to define The Miriam Hospital today.” The ceremony also marked the symbolic first step in the hospital’s building replacement project, with the removal of the historic cornerstone paving the way for a reimagined future of patient care. “When my grandfather placed this time capsule, I doubt he imagined one of his grandchildren would return to open it,” said Jeffrey Brier. “Today is not just a celebration of the past—it’s a continuation of a legacy.” The hospital’s modernization effort is expected to significantly transform its facilities while honoring its deep community roots. 📸 Andrew Moran, Brown University Health #miriamhospital #providenceri #newportbuzz
There’s no better place to flirt with floral fan There’s no better place to flirt with floral fantasy than Rosecliff, the Beaux-Arts masterpiece that will once again blossom into a botanical wonderland for the 29th annual Newport Flower Show, June 20–22. Lovers of lilacs, lilies, and lavish settings can secure their spot at what has become one of the country’s most storied horticultural spectacles. Presented by the @newport.namsions, the show transforms the iconic Bellevue Avenue mansion into a dazzling blend of high society and high floriculture. This year’s theme, A Floral Fair, is a nostalgic nod to Rosecliff’s original hostess, silver heiress Theresa Fair Oelrichs, whose 1913 fairy tale dinner once turned the estate into a real-life storybook. Think Gilded Age glam meets whimsical county fair—carousel horses, teddy bears, a floral roller coaster, and prize blooms all make appearances in what can only be described as Versailles meets Coney Island. The centerpiece? A sculptural garden installation by British artist David Harber, staged oceanside on Rosecliff’s great lawn and inspired by the dreamy White City of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. Inside and out, florists, designers, and botanical artists will compete and collaborate to reimagine the mansion through a floral lens. The three-day event also features a curated marketplace with 40+ vendors, selling everything from heirloom garden tools to luxuriously scented cuttings. Tickets are timed and must be purchased in advance. Tickets for the exclusive Opening Night Party on June 20 — complete with cocktails, canapés, and live music under the stars — are sold out.
