Oregon Coast Calendar: Newport Events for Summer
(Newport,
Oregon) - Summer heats up in the Oregon coast resort town of Newport,
with farmer’s markets, theater productions, plenty of jazz possibilities,
literary movies, classical music, the Fourth of July and numerous other
happenings making things more than a little hot on the coast.
There’s also a heady, hefty amount of science events at the Oregon Coast Aquarium throughout the summer, which you can view here.
Newport Saturday Farmers Market. Fresh produce, homemade breads and pastries, arts and crafts and more. Held every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. through October. Behind Newport City Hall, on Angle Street. Newport, Oregon.
May 8 - May 30: Steel Magnolias. Set in Truvy's beauty salon in Chinquapin, LA, where all the ladies who are "anybody" come to have their hair done. Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward tragedy when, in the second act, the spunky Shelby risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others, but also draws on the underlying strength and love which give the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad. Admission Adults $10 - Seniors/Students $9. 8 p.m. Theatre West. Highway 101, Lincoln City, Oregon. www.theatrewest.com. 541-994-5663.
May
8 - 12: Tall Ships in Newport will feature The Lady Washington
and Hawaiian Chieftain making their way into the central coast town, making
themselves available for tours from the bayfront. These large, masted
ships will sit by the docks of the bay as pirates will stroll the streets.
