Newport Festivals Foundation, Inc. Announces 2012 Dates of Newport Folk and Jazz Festivals

George Wein, Chairman of the Newport Festivals Foundation, Inc., is pleased to announce the dates of the 2012 Folk and Jazz festivals in Newport, RI. The Newport Folk Festival® will be held July 28 - 29 and the Newport Jazz Festival® is set for August 3 - 5. Additional information will be announced in the coming months.

"Following a sold-out 2011 Folk Festival and a very successful Jazz Festival, we want to make sure that music fans throughout the area and around the world have the 2012 dates on their calendars early," said Wein, who has produced the jazz and folk festivals since their inceptions in 1954 and 1959, respectively.
