Description of Event:

musical tribute to the roadhouse rock-and-roll, which sprang from the nightclubs lining Highway 67 in Jackson County in the 1950s and 60s. Sun recording artist and area resident Sonny Burgess is a regular entertainer as well as Ace Cannon and J.R. Rogers among many other regional and national recording stars. For rock-a-billy purists, it doesn’t get any better than this. Depot Days is held annually at the 1902 Iron Mountain Depot in downtown Newport. Restored through the efforts of local citizens and grant funding in 1998, the Depot serves as the focal point of this free festival. Depot Days includes the Lions Club Auction, Jackson County's Best Backyard BBQ Contest, arts & crafts vendors, kids inflatables, trackless train rides, free magic shows great food and live entertainment.
