Newport in Bloom
Now in its fourth year, Bloom Newport is an opportunity to celebrate the creativity, culture, commerce, cuisine and connections that make Newport unique and inviting. This inclusive, sustainability-focused event will take place at the Newport Performing Arts Center and surrounding areas on Saturday, May 31.
The lively afternoon will feature local talent and entertainment, community organizations, artisans, vendors, food, the ever-popular beverage garden and more.
“We’re excited to invite the public to join us,” said event organizers Talaina King. “We’re gearing up for our biggest and best celebration yet as we mark the changing seasons and embrace new beginnings together.”
Bloom has certainly begun to blossom. In previous years, it was held primarily in the parking lot and foyer of the center. The 2025 event will take on a larger footprint, spreading down nearby Cliff Street all the way to Newport Visual Arts Center. There’ll be more to do, see and experience than ever before.
Guests can explore a diverse mix of artisans, crafters and non-profits, offering handmade goods, unique artwork, resources, information and more. The lineup for live entertainment includes Tsunami Zone, The Spruce Tips, It Found Things, Ballet Folklorico Oregon Coast, Revel’n, Your Song My Song and DJ Eveu. Revelers are also invited to take part in a fan favorite, the Silent Disco, where fun-seekers of all ages can dance the night away in the newly renovated David Ogden Stiers Studio Theatre. The beverage garden will include craft drinks from Rogue Brewing, Pelican Brewing, 2Towns Ciderhouse, Bier One and Rusty Truck Brewing.
Leashed dogs are welcome for those that have their own, and for those still looking, the Pacific Northwest Puppy Train will be onsite with dogs available for adoption.
The festival grounds are wheelchair accessible, with ramp access and clear paved paths through the main event and indoor spaces.
Saturday’s event begins at 3 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center, located at 777 W Olive Street. For more information, go to bloomnewport.org or call 541-265-2787.
