The Soundview Summer Stroll returns Sunday, July 26.
And this year’s Stroll will be bigger, more kid-friendly, more musical and more festive than ever.
The annual event — a gift to the town from “06880” and the Compo Beach Improvement Association — is a community-wide celebration.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Soundview Drive — the beach exit road — is closed to traffic.
The street will be filled with Westporters strolling, Rollerblading, jogging, biking — and meeting friends, eating, listening to music, and watching their kids have a blast.
The musical lineup includes Westport’s own Drew Angus, Weston favorite Owen Daniel, the fabulous Ethan Walmark, and the very popular “doctor” band DNR.
This year Earthplace will run the children’s activities, offering games and other fun, along with the traditional face painting and more.
New this year too: booths for non-profits. The Cub Scouts will have tattoos, stickers and beach games; Sunrise Rotary Club offers prizes for a “guess the ducks” contest; the Westport Woman’s Club provides snacks and kids’ items; Earthplace hosts seed bomb making and a “microscopic mystery.”
More than a dozen other organizations are on hand too, from the YMCA and Mo\CA CT to Sustainable Westport and the Levitt Pavilion.
There will be plenty of food, and some surprises.
Mark your calendar. Spend a few hours on Soundview on Sunday, July 26, See you at the Stroll!
