The wait is finally over for jazz enthusiasts, New Englanders, festival lovers, and families, because the iconic Newport Jazz Festival is back this weekend and better than ever. Before you throw yourself into the three-day lineup, with headliners like John Batiste, be sure to fuel up on the best bites this coastal town has to offer. ⁠ ⁠ Start the day dockside at Belle’s Cafe for a seafood-infused brunch or get takeout from Drift Cafe on your way to the Old Port Maine Services’ pickup location. And if you’re already dreaming about Mother Pizzeria’s Notorious F.I.G. sourdough pie for lunch, the good news is you can pack a picnic and bring it in with you. Just another reason we love this storied festival.
