Newport Online

The holiday season is here and there is so much going on, we don't know where to start, so let's start with the big tree: Join the whole town --along with Santa and Mrs. Claus -- at the Newport Yachting Center Tree Lighting Ceremony at the Sovereign Bank Family Skating Center, 5:30 p.m., America’s Cup Ave. It's a great event for the whole family including music, ice skating, carols, refreshment and other surprises. And it's free.
