The season has begun, and three of Newport’s most magnificent houses (or summer cottages, if you’re an Astor or a Vanderbilt). The Breakers, The Elms and Marble House are now open for daily tours. Other openings are scheduled through May.
New for 2013: a stunning costume exhibition at Rosecliff (March 16–Nov. 22), celebrating fashions from the Roaring Twenties all the way up to custom designer garb by Chanel, Halston and Givenchy. Visit in the summer and take part in the Summer Venetian Masked Ball at The Elms on Aug. 3. The ball marks the official debut of the dining room’s restoration and the return of 10 Venetian history paintings that originally hung there.
Other events include the annual Easter Egg Hunt and Brunch on the back lawn of Rosecliff, a plant sale at Green Animals Topiary Garden on May 11, and the 18th annual Newport Flower Show, also at Rosecliff, from June 21–23. This year’s theme is Jade: Eastern Obsessions, and the gala opening night party on June 21 kicks off with a seaside supper, live music and a cocktail buffet. Glass slippers encouraged.
