Newport Boat Show

Each year, more than 200 of the latest boats fill Lido Marina Village's waterfront for the Newport Boat Show. Exhibitors arrange their vessels across the docks, creating a winding pathway on which visitors can explore large luxury yachts or trawlers. Merchants also show off other aquatic vessels, including sportsfishers and sailboats. In addition to displaying and selling watercraft, they demonstrate innovative boating items and services.

The show's organizers let visitors drop their car's anchor at a free offsite parking lot and take a shuttle directly to the docks. They also invite visitors to bring along dogs and cameras.
