A Spooktacular Weekend in Newport!
Hello, dear friends and fellow autumn enthusiasts— As the leaves turn golden, the wind starts to whisper, and twilight arrives just a little earlier each evening, it’s clear: fall has arrived in full force in Newport, Rhode Island. And this year, we’re turning up the “spooky” factor—inviting you to a hauntingly delightful weekend filled with ghosts, ghouls …and great getaway deals.
Why Newport is the place to be this Halloween
From historic streets to haunted mansions, Newport offers a perfect blend of charm, history, and spine-tingles:
The city’s downtown waterfront and charming historic district set the stage for autumn adventures and ghostly tales.
Numerous events cater to families, couples, and thrill seekers alike — whether you want gentle trick-or-treat fun or full-blown paranormal investigation. (See details below.)
And when it’s time for comfort and relaxation, the boutique inn at the heart of downtown offers the perfect haven.
