An Annual Tradition

“Daffodil Days” began in 2012, inspired by requests of local merchants to celebrate the profusion of bright new daffodils that were starting to explode each April. “Rhode” races, a storefront window decorating contest, bike rally, doggie parade, garden tours, music concerts, and a “Driving Miss Daffodil” classic car parade became part of the many springtime festivities.

Newport’s Daffodil Days is an all-volunteer event, now part of Newport in Bloom, a non-profit organization that for 40 years has encouraged residents and businesses to beautify their gardens and public spaces with flowers.

If you choose to view the largest of the daffodil fields in Newport, please take pictures, not the flowers, so that all can enjoy.

Brace yourselves for an explosion of floral euphoria as we gear up for the grand re-awakening of 1,450,000 daffodils during the city’s 13th Annual Newport Daffodil Days, scheduled for April 6th to 28th, 2024. 

The Calendar of Events is below, packed with surprises, festivities, decorated store windows, and experiences that will elevate your love for Mother Nature to new heights.
