NEWPORT, Rhode Island, 24-26 July 1964
Freebody Park, Newport Folk Festival

                    

     The Newport Folk Festival is an American annual folk-oriented music festival in Newport, Rhode Island, which began in July 1959 as a counterpart to the previously established Newport Jazz Festival.
    The festival was held annually from 1959 to 1969 on Rhode Island, barring two years of inactivity in 1961 and 1962. Following a 16-year hiatus, the festival returned to Newport in 1985, and it has been held at Fort Adams State Park annually since then. 

    This was the second visit of Bob Dylan to the Newport Festival. He already came in 1963, he will come again in 1965 for a famous electric performance.

Ticket for the Joan Baez 24 July 1964 concert; Bob Dylan appeared as guest artist.
