Halloween Spectacular Main Street Westport
At 3:15 Thursday there were a handful of trick-or-treaters gathered at the intersection of Main St. and the Post Rd. By 3:40 there was pandemonium as a couple of hundred or more kids and parents swept through town gathering candy and treats from Main Street merchants. The tide swept toward Town Hall and Veterans Green, where more goodies awaited them, and where they danced to the music of DJ Kenny Michaels. Another great Westport tradition makes a triumphant return in 2021.
