What a difference a week makes.
Last Saturday was rainy and gray. The Slice of Saugatuck was postponed.
Yesterday’s late-summer weather was perfect. The sun shone, the air was warm, and a couple of thousand folks ate, drank, danced and bounce-housed their way up and down Riverside and Saugatuck Avenues, and around Railroad Place.
The annual Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce party has become an unofficial kickoff to fall.
And what better way to celebrate it than by strolling (with or without strollers), enjoying a few dozen restaurants, shops and booths, in one of Westport’s oldest — and coolest — neighborhoods.
Our excellent “06880” photographer Ryan Allen — a Staples High School sophomore — was at the Slice, to capture it all.
Like everyone else, he ate it up.
Admission is just $15 — and only $5 for kids. Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce volunteers sold tickets.
One helping per customer. An employee here checks a guest’s card. But the portions were great. And even though the Bridge at Saugatuck hasn’t opened yet, they served full burgers.

Where to go next?

Great photo collection ‼️🇺🇸
Fantastic event. Any chance of shutting down the streets next year?
