NARRAGANSETT, R.I. (WPRI) — Lee passed by offshore as a post-tropical cyclone, bringing gusty winds and large waves to the Southern New England coast.

With the potential for adverse weather, some events decided ahead of time to alter or reschedule their plans.

Here’s what we know about some big local events:

Newport Oktoberfest

This event, originally scheduled for Saturday afternoon at Fort Adams, has been canceled, according to a post on its Facebook page.

Organizers told 12 News it will instead be held on Sept. 28, 2024. All tickets will be good for next year’s event, but anyone who won’t be able to make it can email info@graymattermarketing.com to request an Eventbrite credit that can be used for any other Gray Matter Marketing event over the next two years.
