Tonight, Westport celebrates the final night of 2016 with a First Night celebration.
The family-oriented event includes a slide at Saugatuck Elementary School …
… Dennis the Train Man at the Westport Library …
… and a telescope for stargazing on the banks of the Saugatuck. In the background are launch boats, for the 8 p.m. fireworks.
Hundreds of volunteers — including 1st Selectman Jim Marpe and Jacqueline Devine — make First Night possible:
It all takes place in and around downtown. There’s music, magicians and more at Town Hall, Toquet Hall, Jesup Green, the Westport Historical and Christ & Holy Trinity Church, through 10 p.m.
