Newport Folk Festival
The Newport Folk Festival is an American annual folk-oriented music festival in Newport, Rhode Island, which began in July 1959 as a counterpart to the previously established Newport Jazz Festival.
The festival was held annually from 1959 to 1969 on Rhode Island, barring two years of inactivity in 1961 and 1962. Following a 16-year hiatus, the festival returned to Newport in 1985, and it has been held at Fort Adams State Park annually since then.
This was the second visit of Bob Dylan to the Newport Festival. He already came in 1963.
Ticket for the Joan Baez 24 July 1964 concert; Bob Dylan appeared as guest artist.
