During the days there will be fine dining pop-ups, exhibitions of rare and exciting automobiles, seminars, and car displays along the Newport coast. Then, once the sun goes down, the festival features exclusive cocktail hours, dinners, the annual gala and various VIP parties hosted in the Gatsby-esque mansions that populate America’s original luxury capital.
