Come Visit Us

The citizens of Newport and Jackson County love to have fun, and we especially love sharing our fun times with others! You can find us enjoying live music, movies and art workshops during Monster Nights: Newport's Downtown Entertainment Series. Take advantage of the wonderful hunting and fishing opportunities or local sporting events. If visual, musical, and literary art appeals to you, don't miss one of the state's largest art shows in downtown Newport, the Delta Arts Festival. For free family fun, bring the kids out to the annual Kids Fest or annual Depot Days Festival. We'll treat you to some of our wonderful southern hospitality when you visit.

See you soon!
