🇺🇸✨ On Sunday, Nov. 10, Cappy’s Hillside 🇺🇸✨ On Sunday, Nov. 10, Cappy’s Hillside Café transformed into a tribute to the U.S. Marine Corps’ 249th birthday, filled with Marines, veterans, and friends honoring their legacy. Charlie Masterson, who’s organized this event for over seven years, led the gathering, taking the torch from Pat Shea and Buzz Riley, who was present with saber in hand. Masterson recognized fellow Marines, including Riley and Teddy Hetland, and thanked Cappy’s owners, Brian and Debbie Arnold, for creating a gathering space that, as he joked, “becomes Tun Tavern” every Nov. 10—a nod to the historical birthplace of the Marine Corps in 1775. Newport AOH Pipes and Drums’ Matt Moore filled the café with Amazing Grace, as Masterson led a roll call of remembrance for the Rhode Island Nine and others who gave their lives, along with loved ones like George Almy Thurston Jr., Sam Ripa, Joseph Decosta, Kenneth Eggerman, and Tom Kenney. A highlight of the event was the cake-cutting ceremony led by 94-year-old Marine veteran John O’Neill, who served from 1950-52, and 22-year-old Alex Lemus, the youngest Marine in the room. Together, they cut into a cake adorned with the Marine Corps logo using Riley’s saber. A second cake for Veterans Day was sliced by U.S. Navy veteran Pat McAuliffe and U.S. Army veteran John Lalli—both cakes crafted by Audra Lalli of Mad Hatter Bakery. Attendees included Bob Martley, Bruce Cotta, Jim O’Brien, Anthony Marsella, and 93-year-old Airborne vet Mike Christensen. Cappy’s owner Brian Arnold summed up the day’s spirit, saying, “This day makes me so proud of owning Cappy’s. Hearing Charlie read the names of those we’ve lost—it really brings a tear to the eyes.” ✍🏻 & 📸 by Colleen McGrath (Link in bio) #buzzingaroundnewport #Marines #USMCBirthday #VeteransDay #SemperFi #newportri #newportbuzz

Celebrate the holidays with Newport’s vibrant wa Celebrate the holidays with Newport’s vibrant waterfront community as it shines brightly for the 25th Annual Illuminated Boat Parade on Friday, Nov. 29, at 6 p.m. This beloved event invites everyone to join in a dazzling display of holiday spirit with boats adorned in festive lights parading through Newport Harbor. What began 25 years ago as a small, community-based event founded by former Harbormaster Jake Farrell has evolved into a major holiday tradition. Newport Yacht Club now proudly hosts the parade, creating a cherished experience for locals and visitors alike. The festivities kick off as vessels of all shapes and sizes line up south of the Goat Island Causeway, preparing for a scenic route that will light up the downtown waterfront. Boats will proceed east past Newport Yacht Club—where the judging panel awaits—and continue south along the harbor, making their way past Bowen’s Wharf, @bannisterswharf, and Perrotti Park before circling back. The event is free to the public, making it an accessible family-friendly celebration to welcome the holiday season. Spectators can catch a prime view of the illuminated boats from several locations around Newport Harbor, including Perrotti Park, Bowen’s Wharf, Bannister’s Wharf, @thequenchernewport, @wharffishhouse, @diegosnewport, @wharfsouthernkitchen, and the Newport Yacht Club, which opens to the public for the evening. Adding to the fun, the vessels will compete in several categories: Best Decorated Sailboat (commercial and recreational), Best Decorated Powerboat (commercial and recreational), Best Decorated Fishing Boat, and the coveted Tim Mills Team Spirit Award, named in honor of late harbormaster Tim Mills, who was a long-standing advocate of Newport’s waterfront and this annual tradition. The awards ceremony will be held at Newport Yacht Club at 7:30 p.m. following the parade. #newportri #newportbuzz #rhodeisland #scenesofnewengland #chrisstmasinnewport
