  • Newport Fireworks Cruise (July) – Celebrate Independence Day in Newport Harbor with an up-close view of the fireworks against the backdrop of the city’s historic waterfront.

Salute to Summer – The Grand Finale Fireworks Show

The highlight of the season is the U.S. Navy’s Salute to Summer Fireworks Show, the final and most spectacular fireworks event of the summer.
