Tickets On Sale For 2023 Newport Flower Show

NEWPORT, RI — Tickets are now on sale for the 2023 Newport Flower Show, which will take place from June 23 to 25.

But this year's show will happen at a new location. For the first time in a quarter century, the flower show will be held at Marble House, a Newport jewel built in 1892 and inspired by the Petit Trianon of Versailles.

The show’s usual location, Rosecliff, is undergoing several important restoration projects and will remain closed to the public until September.

The opening night reception — the event that kicks off the Newport summer season — will be from 6 to 8 p.m., June 23. Guests will mingle on the oceanside back lawn of Marble House while enjoying cocktails, cuisine from a variety of stations, live music and a lifestyle marketplace for shopping.

The 27th annual Newport Flower Show takes its name and inspiration from "'The Grand Tour,' the gilded age tradition of an extended voyage to immerse oneself in the art and culture of Europe." This theme will be reflected in the entries for the creative mixed planters class, which will interpret iconic destinations as Versailles, the Alps and Venice; and Botanical Arts, where artists create objects and jewelry from dried plant materials.

The show has been hosted by the Preservation Society of Newport County since 1996.

"Holding the Newport Flower Show in a different location will be both challenging and exciting," society CEO Trudy Coxe said. "It creates many new possibilities. This is the reason for ‘The Grand Tour’ theme, and this Flower Show will be a favorite destination as we head into the summer season."

All proceeds from the show will go towards maintenance and restoration work on the grounds of the Preservation Society of Newport County.
