The 49th annual Westport Fine Arts Festival was bopping along today.
Just-right weather — the sweet spot between last year’s unseasonably cold rain, and previous years’ sweltering July temperatures — drew a couple of thousand folks to Main and Elm Streets.

At 2 p.m., a brief thunderstorm rolled in.
But it quickly passed. The sun returned. Dozens of artists — and many more art-lovers — smiled again.

PS: It takes a ton of work to make a show like this happen. Kudos to the Westport Downtown Association — including their Abbey Road-like volunteers (below):
