Child & Family’s 43rd Annual Taste of Newport

Due to the forecast for inclement weather and out of an abundance of caution for our guests, restaurant and beverage partners, volunteers, and staff, Child & Family’s 43rd Annual Taste of Newport has been postponed.

NEW DATE: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2026
5:30–8:00 PM
Newport Marriott Hotel & Spa
25 America’s Cup Avenue, Newport

While we are disappointed that we won’t be gathering together this Sunday, the safety of everyone involved in Taste of Newport is our priority. We look forward to welcoming you on October 25 for the same wonderful evening celebrating Rhode Island’s culinary community and supporting Child & Family.

All tickets and registrations will automatically transfer to the new date. No action is required at this time.

We are incredibly grateful to our guests, sponsors, restaurant and beverage partners, volunteers, and community supporters for your flexibility and understanding.

Thank you for supporting Child & Family and the children, families, and older adults we have served throughout Rhode Island for 160 years. We look forward to seeing you on October 25!
