The @newportfolkfest is stepping up to the plate t The @newportfolkfest is stepping up to the plate this year — literally.

On Thursday, July 24, the legendary fest will debut the first-ever Newport Folk All-Star Game, bringing together artists from the weekend’s lineup for a night of bats, balls, and benevolence at historic Cardines Field.

Two squads — Team Morby and Team Goodman — will duke it out on the diamond in a laid-back but meaningful game to raise funds for Newport Festivals Foundation’s free music lessons program for local youth. The event runs from 7 to 10 p.m., but the real headline might be the $5 tickets for locals, available exclusively at the Faherty store at 130 Thames Street. That’s right — locals can snag discounted tickets right in town, while everyone else will pay $10 online at newportfolk.org

While the full player lineup is still under wraps, the buzz is already building. Expect some surprise ringers and fan-favorite artists swapping guitars for gloves. Think less Yankees vs. Red Sox, more indie-folk sandlot showdown.

There’ll be concessions and merch on-site, and any remaining tickets will be sold day-of at Cardines — if they’re not gone by then. This is your chance to kick off Folk Fest weekend with heart, hometown spirit, and a side of Cracker Jacks.

Play ball, Newport.

Back in the day, when Easton’s Beach still had a Back in the day, when Easton’s Beach still had a carousel, before the lively Atlantic Beach Club next door was taken over by a seemingly vacant wedding factory, when Castle Hill was still fun, and when the original Christie’s was in full swing, the Mudslide—a subversively boozy adult milkshake—was the totem beverage of the times.

Most of the recipes for the frothy drink call for a cocktail shaker, but in Newport, we did them frozen. Still do. I hadn’t ordered one in a while, but a recent revisit was like a reunion with a favorite, mischievous high school friend. As I write this, it’s 93 degrees. Let’s go get one.

Start right in the middle of the action on America’s Cup Ave., at @surfclubneport’s summer bar and sidewalk patio. The people-watching here is a marvel, so you can sip your ‘slide slowly and avoid brain freeze (though tough New Englanders consider it part of the experience). I can’t promise that slow-mo will work with their Dirty Banana Mudslide, which adds banana rum to the equation. You’re sucking that one down way too fast.

The wharves are another great place to get your ‘slide on. The patio bar at @theblackpearlrestaurant flanking the docks, is a mandatory cocktail stop for all who wander the harbor front, and they’ve got a frozen drink machine filled to the brim with Mudslides, ready and waiting. Across the way, at the end of Bowen’s Wharf, is @lobsterbarnewport, whose waterfront dining room and bar have daiquiris, piña coladas, and Mudslides, also at the ready.

Take a boat to your Mudslide on either the Newport Harbor Shuttle or the Jamestown Ferry. Hop off at Goat Island and walk a few hundred yards to the island shack-style @marinacafeandpub, legendary for its Mudslides. Order one and watch the boats go by while you slurp.

Heading north from Newport, the arguable pinnacle of Mudslide madness can be found at @gulfstreambar in Portsmouth, where you can take your brain freeze with the Nutella or peanut butter option. Hurts so good.
