The Newport Digital Sign is located at the corner of Ioco Road and Newport Drive.
Local non-profit organizations or community event organizers may request space on the digital sign up to four times per year. If you have community information to share, please complete our Newport Digital Sign Request Form. Requests must be submitted a minimum of four weeks in advance of the first date requested. Requests are subject to availability and will be reviewed in the order they are received.
A business strata (or a group of businesses) may request space to promote a free public event if the event is not related to sales.
The following types of messages are not permitted on the Newport Digital Sign:
- paid or commercial advertising;
- religious messages not related to promoting a specific event rental at Inlet Theatre;
- political messages unless it is for the purpose of promoting voting in a government election or attending an all-candidates debate for a government election (promotion of public attendance for a political event is permitted if the event is held in the Inlet Theatre/Galleria as a paid rental); and
- messages that promote a particular opinion, viewpoint, or cause.
