Good morning, Newport.

Newport County is hosting a busy mix of events this week and weekend from Monday, July 14 to Sunday, July 20.

Residents can join live music shows, art tours, farmers markets, and public meetings across the county – offering many chances to get involved.

The stage at the old opera house on Washington Square has stayed silent 23 years after NPAC bought the building — officials do not know when work will start again.

Fifteen Newport County properties changed hands between July 7th and 11th—showing early signs of a market shift as sellers adjust to longer days on market.

Strategic buyers are now taking advantage of increased inventory amid broader economic changes.
