Newport Winter Festival
|
The Winter Festival is a nostalgic visit from the past. We use the weekend to celebrate timeless Vermont traditions like snowmobiling, ice skating, sledding, and bonfires. Nothing chases the frostbite blues away like heartwarming time spent with family and friends. Whether you're participating in activities or simply watching, you're going to love this winter wonderland weekend.

The Newport Recreation Committee will be announcing the winner of their 2019 SnoPro Ice Shack raffle at 6:45PM on the waterfront. Valued at $5,000, features of the 6x10' shanty include insulated walls and ceiling, sliding windows, fold down table, aluminum frame and steel skis, spring loaded tow-hitch, integrated D-rings, and water resistant decking.

Family Events & Fireworks at Prouty Beach
As the activities and the day's festivities wind down, families are invited to gather at Prouty Beach at 4:00PM for the Winter Festival finale. Finish the evening with snow tubing, ice skating on the lake, bonfire, and a spectacular fireworks display over Lake Memphremagog at 7PM. Don't miss the hysterical Hoagie's pizza eating contest and Chuck-a-Puck 50/50 fundraiser ($5 each) to benefit the Gardner Park Playground and Splashpad Project. Admission is free, but donations are appreciated to support fundraisers at the event.

Memphremagog Winter Swimming Festival
Join Kingdom Games as they embrace winter and the growing sport of cold water swimming in North America. Each year they cut a 25 meter, two lane pool in the ice on Lake Memphremagog by the Eastside Restaurant and offer 25, 50, 100 and 200 meter competitions, and the fiercest of hat competitions. Join our growing tribe of winter swimmers or enjoy the event as a spectator sport on February 29th. This is the only 25 meter winter swim pool in North or South America - right here in Newport! TOTALLY COLD! Read more... Check out the Winter Swim Festival on Youtube! |
