The June 20 concert has been cancelled due to rain, according to a Facebook post by Fort Adams. The show is rescheduled for Thursday, June 27.

A free summer concert series titled “Music at the Fort” will kick off Thursday with the Kane Brothers at Fort Adams State Park.

The series previously had been held at the Eisenhower House, near the entrance of the park, but will be conducted just outside of the fort this year. The concerts are scheduled for the third Thursday of each month from 5 to 8 p.m.

“We moved the concert series from the Eisenhower House down to outside the fort’s walls to take advantage of more space, the beautiful views of Narragansett Bay that the fort provides, as well as the glorious sunsets during the summer months,” said Joe Dias, executive director for the Fort Adams Trust. “We also extended the concerts into September given how nice that month can be and incorporated our relationship with the food truck vendors that we established back in May at our weekend event which was a sellout.”

The June 20 concert has been cancelled due to rain, according to a Facebook post by Fort Adams. The show is rescheduled for Thursday, June 27.



The series will continue with performances on July 18, Aug. 15 and Sept. 19. The Ravers will play on Aug. 15, and the other dates are to be determined.

Parking is free and refreshments will be available from Newport Storm brewery and rotating food trucks. The concerts are for all ages and attendees are encouraged to bring blankets to sit on the lawn while they enjoy the music and views of Narragansett Bay.

“The walls outside the fort provide such a unique location for putting on the ‘Music at the Fort’ concerts and everyone knows how special it is from the festivals,” said Jen Chapin, director of special events for the Fort Adams Trust. “With the generous help of Hogan Associates Realtors, the Trust is once again happy to offer these family focused events featuring local popular musicians.”
