Newport This Week

Sprucing the Wharf


 

 

The Bowen’s Wharf 50th annual tree lighting will be reimagined this year on Saturday, Dec. 5. The brief ceremony and countdown will be live streamed beginning at 6 p.m. on the wharf to Facebook and Instagram pages for all to enjoy from the comforts of home. The 30-foot Norway spruce came from Pachet Brook Tree Farm in Tiverton and will remain lit until early February. All are encouraged to come see the tree and visit the wharf’s festively decorated restaurants and retail merchants throughout the season. For those who choose to attend in person, note that there will be no live musical performances or visits from Santa and the City of Newport’s face-covering mandate will be closely monitored and enforced.
