The Rhode Island DEM and Department of Health have The Rhode Island DEM and Department of Health have reported the first detection of West Nile Virus (WNV) in the state this year.

A mosquito sample collected in East Providence on July 21 tested positive for the virus at the Rhode Island State Health Laboratories. Other mosquito samples collected across the state showed no evidence of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), Jamestown Canyon Virus (JCV), or additional WNV.

WNV is the most common mosquito-borne illness in the United States. While most people infected never develop symptoms, about one in five experience fever and flu-like illness. In rare cases, the virus can lead to serious complications affecting the nervous system. There is currently no vaccine or specific treatment for WNV in humans.

Health officials are urging residents to reduce the risk of mosquito bites by using insect repellent, wearing protective clothing outdoors, and eliminating standing water around homes.

Weekly test results are available on RIDOH’s arboviral surveillance webpage. More information on mosquito-borne illness prevention can be found at health.ri.gov/mosquito and dem.ri.gov/mosquito.

The @newport.mansions Wine & Food Festival is rais The @newport.mansions Wine & Food Festival is raising a glass to its 20th year in decadent style, September 18–21, with Rosecliff and Marble House serving as the gilded backdrop. And this year, all eyes are on culinary powerhouse Marcus Samuelsson, who will headline two marquee events that promise to blend flavor, culture, and a dash of star power.

Born in Ethiopia and raised in Sweden, Samuelsson has built an empire of acclaimed restaurants stretching from New York to Miami to Addis Ababa, collecting eight James Beard Awards and a string of TV credits from Chopped to Netflix’s Iron Chef. At Newport, he’ll helm the exclusive Vintner Dinner on September 19, crafting a signature first course alongside celebrated chefs Kevin Des Chenes, Terence Feury, and Adam Young. The following day, Rosecliff hosts “In Conversation with Marcus Samuelsson,” an intimate dive into his remarkable culinary journey and philosophy of taste.

The festival’s 20th edition isn’t just about big names; it’s about indulgence in every form. Over 23 tasting seminars will uncork the best in wine, spirits, and craft beer, while the brand-new Soiree du Vin adds a chic twist to the lineup. Whether your palate leans toward pinot noir, bourbon, or caviar, the program reads like a gourmand’s dream.

“This milestone year is going to be unforgettable,” said Trudy Coxe, CEO of The Preservation Society of Newport County. “Chef Samuelsson brings an international flair, and our expanded seminars and new events will celebrate this festival in fine style.”

Tickets, including access to the legendary Tasting Tent, go on sale Thursday, July 31, at 9 a.m. Proceeds benefit the Preservation Society and its stewardship of Newport’s iconic historic properties. 

More details and tickets are available at newportmansions.org/events/newport-mansions-wine-food-festival-2025.
