The Newport Police Department Honor Guard was proud to participate in the opening ceremonies of Newport Italianfest, helping kick off one of our community’s most cherished traditions. Italianfest celebrates the rich Italian heritage of our city and brings together thousands of residents and visitors for a weekend of food, music, culture, and community spirit along Newport’s riverfront.

We are honored to represent the department and serve as a symbol of respect, tradition, and pride during this special event. Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and everyone who helps make Italianfest a success year after year.

We wish everyone a safe and enjoyable festival weekend!
