2019 Hootenanny a Smashing Success!

Over 3,500 ghouls and goblins enjoyed the 2019 Newport Halloween Hootenanny on a mixed weather night. Click here for the photos! The first half of the event saw splendid summery weather in the upper 70's, with some light rain moving through in the latter half of the event, thinning the crowds.

The 2019 Hootenanny saw record support from our community volunteers at the event and our business community sponsors beforehand, both of which keep the event free to the public.

We thank our Event Sponsors: Frank Door Company, Bevin Wall, Attorney at Law, Boulia Construction & Restoration, Chick-Fil-A of Morehead City, Hope Mission, Riverside Pizza & Subs and Veneer Tech. Please refer to our website right panel for the comprehensive list of our Game Sponsors, Candy Sponsors, Individual Sponsors and In-Kind Sponsors & Volunteers.     

Special recognition goes to a contingent of our US Marines from Air Traffic Control at Cherry Point, and numerous churches showing up with significant volunteers. We also thank event mainstays The Newport Pig Cooking Contest, Town of Newport employees and Newport Little League, without whose support the event could not occur!       

Kids and Adults enjoyed having the Petting Zoo return, thanks to The Barnyard. Our new Hayride tractor driver, Eric Bryan, kept a full load running all night.

We thank everyone that made the 2019 Hootenanny a great success! Newport Rotary, Event Coordinators.
