The Newport 20th Anniversary Block Party
939 E Conway St

WMSE is proud to support our good buddies at The Newport for their 20th Anniversary.
Franky Creed has owned and—along with the help of his sons—operated The Newport since 2005. In honor of the Creed family’s 20th anniversary of taking over The Newport, they’re planning to put on a day-long springtime celebration. On Saturday, May 17, a stretch of Conway St. between Logan Ave. and Lenox St. in front of the bar will be closed down in order to host The Newport’s 20th Anniversary Block Party.
From 12-9 p.m., the one-block stretch of pavement will host a winning blend of live music, drinks, local vendors, cookout food favorites, and philanthropy. The event will help raise funds for the Bay View Community Center, and Bay View Lions Club. The latter will be selling burgers, brats, and hot dogs on-site. Retail vendors, multiple beer tents, and a full bar inside. The Newport will also be selling their ever-popular merchandise, including their beloved hats, hoodies, T-shirts, and stickers.
The live music will come courtesy of these local projects (listed in order of opener to headliner, times TBD):
• Peshtigo
• Dark Psychic
• as Oak
• HOSTS
• Clove
