Fans from across the globe will take over scenic Fort Adams today through Sunday to hear some of the world’s greatest musicians at the Newport Jazz Festival presented by Natixis Investment Managers, but no one should leave the Festival without visiting the Craft and Food Vendors who set up shop on the Festival grounds.
From handmade jewelry to handcrafted clothing to dog collars and dolls, there’s something for everyone. Foodies can try beet burgers or beet cheesecake, venison chili or wild boar nachos, oyster Po’ Boys or lobster rolls, BBQ brisket or mac and cheese croquettes and more.
