Back by popular demand, Beach Polo returns to the Newport Winter Festival on Feb.25 & 26 at 1pm, weather permitting.

The exciting outdoor polo exhibition will take place at Easton’s Beach (locally known as 1st Beach), in Newport, RI.

For more information, or weather updates, please call (401) 846-0200.

The exhibition polo event, organized by Newport Polo, will feature teams competing each day in a match composed of 4 periods of play (chukkers), for a duration of 1+ hour, played during low tide.

Spectators are encouraged to witness the fast-paced contests in the picturesque setting of Newport's prettiest beach, and cheer on the teams, playing on finely tuned thoroughbred mounts.

Admission and parking at the Easton’s Beach parking lots are free.

If you enjoyed Beach Polo, and are interested in another polo event that evening, then come experience the world premiere of Sacred Ground, a cinematic celebration of the 25th season of the Newport International Polo Series, for a 1-night engagement on Feb.

25 at Newport's Jane Pickens Theater, starting with a cocktail party at 7pm to meet the film makers and players, followed by the screening at 8pm.

The screening is in conjunction with the Newport Winter Festival, to give our fans the only opportunity to see the feature-length film on the big screen.

Tickets are $12, and can be purchased in advance from JPT: http://bit.ly/2knaubP (and at the door, if available); proceeds will benefit Friends of the Jane Pickens Theater.
