This is not a weekend for dieters.
Ribs, bacon, beer — it’s all there, on overstuffed plates and in overflowing pitchers, at the 6th Annual Blues, Views & BBQ Festival in downtown Westport.
Levitt Pavilion construction forced the event to relocate this weekend to Jesup Green and the Taylor Parking Lot. The new riverfront location works well.
At mid-afternoon today — hardly prime time — the place was packed. Two bands played; little kids romped on a few inflatables, and the haze of dozens of barbecues wafted everywhere.
Blues,Views & BBQ continues today (Saturday) through 10 p.m. Gates open tomorrow (Sunday) at 11 a.m.; the action continues until 9 p.m. Click here for more information.

Bands from the School of Rock rock the festival.
There’s plenty of room to relax (and eat) at the Blues, Views & BBQ Festival.
Music on the main stage runs the gamut — but the blues influences every genre.
A good-size crowd gathers on Jesup Green for the music. There will be more people — and bands — tonight.
