The inaugural Live Local Music & Arts Festival celebrated the art and culture that defines Newport and Rhode Island as a whole on Thursday, August 3rd on the lawn of Great Friends Meeting House.

Live Local gave the hundreds that came out to the festival a first-hand look at what it means to be a Newport local through art, music, food, history and more.

The event was presented by The Kings Lens And Friends and Mission NPT.
