Take the Kids to the Newport RI Folk Festival.
I’d love to have something more original to post, but I’m in the middle of a move, so let me instead highlight this article on Out With The Kids; it has all sorts of ideas and suggestions for taking the family to the Newport RI Folk Festival held at scenic Fort Adams on the bay.
(My parents saw Peter, Paul & Mary live there in the 60’s; the event’s been around for awhile!)
The 2006 lineup (August 5-6) includes David Gray, Rosanne Cash, the Meters (awesome funky New Orleans group,) Odetta and the Indigo Girls, to list just a few.
