Why Not in Newport?

San Francisco has its annual Polar Plunge, where hoards of hot-blooded swimmers brave the frigid waters to raise money for the Special Olympics. Several cities in Western Europe and South America celebrate Carnivale, a giant pre-Lent street masquerade. Gloucestershire residents go nuts for the annual Cheese Rolling Festival, where hundreds of turophiles risk their limbs and lives in a downhill race for a chunk of cheese. And then there are the bizarre Bastille Day celebrations across the U.S., to the joie de Francophiles all around (three-legged race in French maids costumes, anyone?).
