29th annual Seafood Festival

From 29th annual Seafood Festival Website:

Historic Bowens Wharf in downtown Newport, RI, will host the 29th annual Bowens Wharf Seafood Festival, on October 19th and 20th. Named one of the 10 Fabulous Fall Festivals on the Coast, by Coastal Living Magazine, this event is an open invitation to come back to the waterfront after the rush of the summer season!

Honoring the Harvest of the Sea, the Bowens Wharf Seafood Festival offers fresh, local seafood. Fish tacos, lobster rolls, fried calamari, oysters, signature cocktails and cold Whalers Brewing beer accompany continuous live music, and family fun, all beneath the Wharfs colorful tents. Other neighboring restaurants and fishermans associations serve up their most celebrated seafood dishes (lobster dinners, clam chowder, stuffed quahogs, clam cakes, shrimp, scallops, raw oysters and clams, as well as a few dishes for landlubbers and kids). Fresh smoothies, donuts and kettle corn for your sweet tooth. Cafe-style seating is set up throughout the Wharf and proceeds from festival bars benefit Oliver Hazard Perry, RIs 200-foot official sailing education vessel.
