Holiday Stroll Rings In The Season

In just 3 years, the “06880” Westport Downtown Association Holiday Stroll has become one of our town’s most cherished traditions.

Last night, over 2,000 Westporters and friends filled downtown.

Parents strolled (many with strollers). Kids raced around. Adults chatted with neighbors and friends they hadn’t seen in years.

Staples Players dressed up in costumes. A 21st-century photo booth got a workout. Nearby, a firepit and s’mores offered a tasty, warm respite.

Up and down Main Street, Church Lane and the Post Road, merchants and restaurants offered hot chocolate, wine, and special shopping deals.

The weather was perfect for strolling, singing, and having fun.

Ho ho ho!

    Dan, the image of the art gallery you posted is Sorelle Gallery not Claredon. Any way you can correct it? Thank you again for all your support! Sandy

    This was a fun event but I wished that they had blocked cars from driving on Main Street. The sidewalks were packed, would have been helpful to be able to spill over into the street.

  3. Great event – agree – re Lisa’s comment. I wish Main Street had been blocked to cars like it OFTEN is for events. Glad nothing bad happened.
