NEWPORT DAFFODIL DAYS
APRIL 2024
Welcoming visitors to our City by the Sea each April to enjoy the beauty of over 1,465,000 daffodils throughout town. Activities happen from April 6th to April 28th, 2024.
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.
