35th annual Bowen's Wharf Seafood Festival

Event Details

Event type: All Ages

Celebrate the Harvest of the Sea at the 35th annual Bowen’s Wharf Seafood Festival! Named one of Coastal Living Magazine’s “10 Fabulous Fall Festivals on the Coast,” this beloved autumn tradition invites everyone to return to the waterfront after the summer rush for two days of fresh seafood, live music, and family fun.

Savor local favorites including fish tacos, lobster rolls, stuffies, chowder, fried calamari, clams, oysters, and more—plus signature cocktails and cold beer beneath Bowen’s Wharf’s colorful tents. Neighboring restaurants and fishermen’s associations serve up their most celebrated seafood dishes, along with a few tasty options for landlubbers and kids. Save room for sweet treats like fresh donuts, kettle corn and chocolate covered fruit!

Bring your dancing shoes and enjoy continuous live music throughout the weekend featuring folk, surf rock and blues bands that are sure to get your toes tapping. Café-style seating is available throughout the wharf, and a portion of proceeds from the festival bars benefits Child & Family.

Bring the whole family and join locals and visitors alike for this unforgettable waterfront celebration of coastal flavors, community spirit, and Newport charm.
