Downtown Newport is getting ready to come alive in a big way this June, and it’s the perfect time to experience a community where history, creativity, and small-town energy all meet along the White River corridor.
Once known as a vital railroad and river town, Newport grew up around transportation, trade, and agriculture—shaped by its connection to the White River and its role as a regional hub in Jackson County. You can still feel that sense of movement and connection today in its historic downtown streets, where old brick buildings and local businesses sit side by side with new ideas, local events, and a growing arts scene.
This summer, that creative spirit takes center stage with the Delta Arts Festival – Downtown Newport Friday, June 5 | Noon – 6:00 PM and Saturday, June 6 | 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM Downtown Newport is opening its doors for two full days of art, music, food, and family-friendly fun. The Delta Arts Festival is all about celebrating creativity in every form—and everyone is invited.
Stroll through a variety of artwork from talented artists, enjoy live music throughout the day, and grab something delicious from local food vendors while you explore. It’s the kind of weekend where you can take your time, wander, and enjoy the atmosphere at your own pace.
