Just as millions of hibernating daffodils prepare to make their debut along the city's cobblestone paths and sun-drenched shores, Newport and Bristol counties prepare to celebrate with two annual celebrations.
NEWPORT DAFFODIL DAYS
APRIL 2026
Welcoming visitors to our City by the Sea each April to enjoy the beauty of over 1,500,000 daffodils throughout town. Activities happen all April long.
If you choose to view the daffodil fields in Newport, please don’t pick (or step on) the flowers. They’re for all to enjoy.
Newport’s Daffodil Days is an all-volunteer event in support of Newport In Bloom, a non-profit, all volunteer organization that for 40 years has encouraged residents and businesses to beautify their gardens and public spaces with flowers.
NEWPORT IN BLOOM…
- Places and maintains the many beautiful hanging baskets along Bellevue Avenue and Touro Street.
- Conducts both spring and fall garden competitions.
- Holds a plant sale each spring.
- Donates and gives away over 30,000 daffodil bulbs each fall to the City of Newport, Aquidneck Island residents and non-profit organizations.
