No need to worry about what to do this weekend ... head to the
Newport Jazz Festival presented by Natixis Global Asset Management to celebrate
the 60th anniversary of America's first annual jazz festival. Set in beautiful
Newport, RI, August 1 - 3, the festival features three stages and more than 45
artists, including Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Dee
Dee Bridgewater, Bobby McFerrin, Dr. John, David Sanborn, Trombone Shorty,
Cécile McLorin Salvant, Jon Batiste & Stay Human, Gregory Porter, Snarky
Puppy, Ron Carter and many more.
Also
celebrating its 60th anniversary this year is the International Tennis Hall of
Fame & Museum, which serves as the host venue for opening night of the
Newport Jazz Festival. In 1954, the museum was founded as a "shrine to the
ideals of the game." Sixty years later, and with a bright future ahead,
the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum is a global leader in the
tennis industry, and an important community landmark. The Hall of Fame is
housed in the historic Newport Casino, which was built in 1880 as a social club
to bring the community together. As the two iconic Newport institutions mark 60
years, the Hall of Fame will kick off the 60th Anniversary Opening Night of
Newport Jazz Festival with a pre-show cocktail party for concert goers, hosted
on the beautiful porches of the historic property. Tickets are $60 and are
available on www.tennisfame.com or by phone at 401-324-4072.
