Event Postponed to 2024

In light of this Saturday’s forecasted hurricane, we have made the difficult decision to postpone this year’s event to Saturday, September 28, 2024.

The forecast now shows Hurricane Lee tracking well offshore to the east, but the forecasted winds and rain for southeastern New England made setting the tents and event up Saturday morning impossible. We’re sincerely sorry for any inconvenience this storm and postponement may have caused, but we look forward to hosting you all in 2024.

Attendee Options

All tickets are automatically pushed to next year’s Newport Oktoberfest scheduled for Saturday, September 28th. No action is required should you plan to attend next year’s festival.

If you do not want to attend next year’s fest, we are offering an Eventbrite credit for the balance of your ticket purchase to any other Gray Matter Marketing event in the next two years. Full calendar and details here.
