Newport has a famed history of
live music.
In the 20th Century, international-
ly-celebrated performers regularly
stopped in Newport on their way
from Montreal to Boston. Stars
such as Louis Armstrong, Glenn
Miller, and Rosemary Clooney
performed at the International
Club, which at one time boasted
the largest dance fl oor in all of
New England. More than 200 feet
long and 60 feet wide, it could
accommodate 2,000 dancers.
Although the ballroom is long-
gone, the arts are still alive and
well in Newport today. Since
2007, local artists and handcraft -
ers have had their own venue to
display and sell their creations at
the Memphremagog Arts Collab-
orative (MAC) Center for the Arts.
