About Westport Culture


A celebration of Westport’s people and culture.

A town-wide celebration of Westport’s culture and the people, businesses and organizations that shape it.

The vision

Westport is a beautiful coastal town. The people here create, start businesses, help their neighbors and make it a good place to live, work and raise a family.

On March 27, 2027, we come together.

Westport Culture brings together businesses, nonprofits, cultural institutions, civic organizations, artists, entrepreneurs, educators and residents from across town.

It’s a day to celebrate our town, thank the people who make it better and give our flowers to those who have helped shape Westport.

The first Westport Culture is A Day for Dan, honoring Dan Woog and his years of work on 06880. The day belongs to all of Westport.

Our greatest asset is the people who make Westport home.

The principle

No single organization owns the day.

A small organizing committee coordinates Westport Culture. The town’s organizations make the day together.

Proposed themes for the years ahead

Bigger than a single day.

March 27, 2027, is the first Westport Culture. It is meant to become an annual tradition, with a new theme each year.
