Winter Waters is taking over Newport, Oregon with public events over the weekend of February 7th & 8th, 2026. Huge thank you to Discover Newport for your support.

Newport hold a special place in the hearts of Winter Waters co-founders Rachelle, Alanna, and Kristen. We’ve hosted events in this coastal town since year 1 of Winter Waters, and we’re excited to continue to grow the series here!

We’re working out the details but expect a city-wide event series with educational experiences around sea urchin ranching and seaweed farming, a delicious meal at Local Ocean Seafoods, and an open house highlighting local purveyors at Central Coast Food Web. Check out the pop-up broth bar (with savory fish bone broths), part of Local Ocean’s 100% Fish Program, and join us on a Dock Walk with Oregon Sea Grant.

Newport is the place to be if you want to learn about sustainable seafood fisheries, aquaculture, sea life, and conservation. Plus, there’s incredible food in Newport! We can’t wait to tell you more. Please sign up for our newsletter for first dibs on tickets.

If you’re traveling to Newport from out of town, we recommend coming out Friday, February 6th, so you can get here with plenty of time to participate in the morning events on Saturday, February 7th.
