Now that was fun!

 
Looking ahead…
 
The FREE Bulb give-away on October 21 will be followed by our collective efforts to plant even more daffys throughout the area this fall.
 
We’ll then see you and over 1,400,000 daffodils bloom again in April ’24 at our 13th Annual Daffodil Days celebrations.

This map shows you all the fields of daffodils in Newport. Take a day and make it a daffy adventure!

An annual tradition

“Daffodil Days” began in 2012, inspired by requests of local merchants to celebrate the profusion of bright new daffodils that were starting to explode each April. “Rhode” races, a storefront window decorating contest, bike rally, doggie parade, garden tours, music concerts, and a “Driving Miss Daffodil” classic car parade became part of the many springtime festivities.

Newport’s Daffodil Days is an all-volunteer event, now part of Newport in Bloom, a non-profit organization that for 40 years has encouraged residents and businesses to beautify their gardens and public spaces with flowers.

If you choose to view the largest of the daffodil fields in Newport, please take pictures, not the flowers, so that all can enjoy.

Thank you to our sponsors!
