anyone ever been to the newport chowder cook off?

it's next weekend.  is it fun for kids at all?

Re: anyone ever been to the newport chowder cook off?

  • Been several times and will be heading there again this year.  My husband's company is the wine sponsor at the event so I go an pour and/or drink wine :)

    I thihnk the chowder fest is one of the better ones because you actually get something for your admission (free chowder).

    Not sure if I can answer the "is it fun for kids" ...

    There are a lot of kids usually there.  If they like chowder thats also a plus.  They have live music (The Ravers).  According to the website:

    Family Fun

    Kids creative talents are welcomed at the Amica Family Fun Area where they will have a chance to get in the culinary spirit by decorating chefs? hats. Or if bring the kids to watch Ron the Balloon Man perform his magical twisted creations and be sure they take home a memorable character! Don?t get scared if you see Pirate Captain William Kidd & The Freeman of the Sea roaming our site, they are friendly chowder-loving pirates, arrrhhh! Lastly, be sure to check out our many kidSTOPs throughout the site with crafty children activities!

  • I wouldn't say its "thrilling" for kids, but it is definitely kid friendly, in that there is plenty to see and do, its loud, messy, and food oriented. If a kiddo spills everywhere, starts screaming, etc, no big deal :-) Its definitely good if she likes chowder!  One word- go hungry. Very very hungry. And pace yourself. YUM! :-)
