Event Postponed to 2024

In light of this Saturday's forecasted hurricane, we have made the difficult decision to postpone this year's event to September 28, 2024.

The forecast shows Hurricane Lee tracking offshore to the east with sustained winds between 30 and 50mph and rain throughout the day Saturday in Newport.
