Annual Driving Miss Daffy Parade returns to Newport

Posted

The Audrain Automobile Museum, in partnership with Newport Daffodil Days, invites everyone to the 11th annual Driving Miss Daffodil Parade — a joyful tribute to the 1,200,000 daffodils that brighten the city each year. Decorate your vehicle, bring your friends and family, and cruise through Newport in this vibrant celebration of spring. Prizes will be awarded to the “best-dressed” car, with the grand prize winner receiving a private tour of the Audrain Car Storage Facility.

The parade route is approximately 10 miles and will conclude at Audrain Cars & Coffee at Sachuest Beach, where participants are encouraged to stay and enjoy the gathering.

Registration is $50 per vehicle, which  helps cover permits, licenses, and police escorts. Remaining proceeds will benefit both the Newport Daffodil Days Organization and the Audrain Automobile Museum.

All registered participants will receive:

• Free admission to the Audrain Automobile Museum (guest passes valid for one year)

• A $10 voucher to La Forge Casino Restaurant
