A moment for the history books. The Swell Season A moment for the history books. The Swell Season returned to the Newport Folk Festival main stage and brought the entire sold‑out crowd to a standstill with “Falling Slowly.” The Oscar‑winning ballad, first heard in “Once,” hit like a wave over Fort Adams — quiet, raw, and absolutely spellbinding. Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová proved once again why this song will never let go. And when the crowd took over the final verse, their voices rising in unison, the performance became something truly timeless. #newportfolkfest #newportri #newportbuzz #theswellseason
This summer, 15-year-old Isobel from Virginia saw This summer, 15-year-old Isobel from Virginia saw her dream come true when she and her family visited Newport through Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia, in collaboration with Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Isobel, who has a nervous system disorder, wished to explore Newport’s history with her parents and brother. Her trip began at with a private meet-and-greet with Newport Mayor Charlie Holder, who presented her with the key to the city. “The opportunity to meet Isobel and her family was one of the great satisfactions in my role as Mayor of Newport,” said Mayor Holder. “Isobel is an intelligent and charismatic young lady and I have deep admiration for her and how she has handled her challenges. It was great to see the people of Newport open their arms to Isobel and her family to make their visit a most memorable one.” During her six-day stay, Isobel toured The Breakers, enjoyed afternoon tea at Hotel Viking, and took in a Newport sunset cruise. “I was honored to witness Isobel receiving the key to Newport from Mayor Holder. It was clear it was very meaningful to Isobel and a moment that will stay with her forever,” said Michael Vieira, Vice President of Advancement for Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The visit became a true community effort, with local businesses and residents coming together to make the experience unforgettable for Isobel and her family. Local businesses including The Lobster Shack and Cutie Curls donated to make Isobel’s visit special. For children like Isobel facing critical illness, a wish fulfilled provides profound joy, renewed strength and resiliency, and lasting hope to keep striving and dreaming for the future. This summer, Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island is working to grant the wishes of 120 local children between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

HBO’s ‘The Gilded Age’ is returning for a fo HBO’s ‘The Gilded Age’ is returning for a fourth season, and Newport, RI, has never looked more glamorous on screen. The Emmy-nominated drama from Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey) has become a love letter to America’s opulent 1880s, with the Newport Mansions serving as a glittering backdrop to the series’ tales of ambition, scandal, and shifting social power. The renewal follows a record-breaking third season that saw premiere-night viewership climb for five consecutive weeks and fan engagement soar nearly 60 percent. Critics have called the latest season “the best yet,” with its sweeping storylines, sumptuous costume design, and Emmy®-winning production value drawing praise from Variety, Entertainment Weekly, and Vulture. Much of the show’s allure lies in its ability to transport audiences into a world of marble ballrooms and gilded drawing rooms, many of which are filmed inside Newport’s storied Bellevue Avenue estates. Season 3 even introduced a storyline featuring a Newport doctor entangled in romance and family drama, cementing the city as a character in its own right. With Christine Baranski, Carrie Coon, Cynthia Nixon, and an ensemble cast at the helm, HBO promises that Season 4 will raise the stakes even higher. “Julian Fellowes and the enormously talented cast and crew have created a ‘can’t-miss’ entertainment experience week after week,” said Francesca Orsi, EVP of HBO Drama Series. As Bertha Russell eyes even loftier heights of social power and the old guard struggles to hold its ground, Newport’s iconic mansions will once again provide the perfect stage for the series’ grand ambitions. Season 3 concludes August 10, with all episodes streaming on HBO Max. 📸 KAROLINA WOJTASIK/HBO #thegildedage #newportri #newportmansions #nyc #newportbuzz
