Middletown is located in the 'middle' of Aquidneck Island, sandwiched between Portsmouth to the north, and Newport, to the south. Close enough to all the action of Newport (less than a 10 minute drive to Thames Street!), but far enough to have more seascapes than cityscapes.

Food scene

Notable people/groups that have played at the Folk Festival in the past include: Bob Dylan, Pixies, Mumford & Sons, Regina Spektor, Kacey Musgraves, Dolly Parton, and more.
