After 31 years of making memories with you, the Newport Syndicate will close out this chapter under current ownership at the end of 2026 as Sharon Forton retires.

BB Riverboats will take over operations of the venue beginning January 1, 2027, and currently contracted events will continue in the same event spaces.

Before that next chapter begins, we plan to spend the rest of 2026 doing what the Newport Syndicate has done for more than three decades: bringing people together.

There is still time to join us for Murder Mystery Dinners, holiday events, private celebrations and one final New Year’s Eve under Sharon’s ownership, featuring The Rusty Griswolds and McFadden Music.
If the Newport Syndicate has been part of your story over the years, we hope you’ll stop by, celebrate with us and help us close out 31 years with a big finish.

See all of our announcements!
