WBGO Travel invites you to bask in the fun and music at the Newport Jazz Festival® August 3-7, 2023.

Saturday and Sunday tickets to the festival are sold out, so WBGO's weekend package to the festival is the ONLY way to experience the full weekend at the festival!

MEMBERS CAN BEGIN BOOKING THURSDAY, JUNE 22 AT 10AM. CHECK YOUR EMAIL OR CALL 973-643-4300.

PUBLIC SALE BEGINS MONDAY, JUNE 26 AT 10AM.

SALES END JULY 3, 2023 AT 5PM.

We’re rolling out the red carpet just for you Thursday when you check in at Newport’s only resort-style hotel, Newport Harbor Island Resort (formerly Gurney's), where you can relax on this private island, unwind, go for a swim or take a bike ride! Next, enjoy a toast to the weekend with fellow travelers with a welcome reception, where you can meet WBGO staff, pick up your tickets and grab WBGO's insider guide to some of the best places to visit in Newport. Finally, get ready for the Friday kickoff of the Newport Jazz Festival! 

Each festival day, the hotel provides guests complimentary roundtrip water taxi service between the hotel and the festival entrance, where your music filled day awaits at the legendary outdoor festival at Fort Adams State Park. And we’ll make sure you are well taken care of as WBGO weekend travelers will enjoy exclusive access to the WBGO Shade Tent!

Every day there is something extra for guests staying at Newport Harbor. Before the festival starts, take a swim in one of the hotel’s two pools (indoor heated or outdoor saltwater), relax at the hotel spa (reservations recommended), enjoy complimentary bike rentals, relax in Adirondack chairs and hammocks overlooking the bay, or take advantage of the 24 hour fitness center. 

After the festival each evening, the party continues at Newport Harbor, with fine dining indoors, or a nightcap on the fire-table-lit deck where Christian McBride played DJ in 2018. You never know who you'll see!
