No April Fools: Dog Days at Westport Beaches End March 31st
Parks and Recreation Director Jennifer Fava reminds residents and visitors that as of April 1, no animals are allowed at Compo, Old Mill, or Burying Hill beaches, in or out of vehicles. This regulation is in effect until October 1. Parking emblems will be required on all vehicles entering town beaches beginning May 1.
For the safety and well-being of our athletic field users, Ms. Fava asks for assistance from the public to help us keep our fields in good playing condition by keeping animals off of our ball fields year round.
Ms. Fava also states, “Although we have regulations in place for animals at the beach from April 1 to September 30, dogs are welcome at Winslow Park year round.” Winslow park is located at Compo Road North and Post Road East, and has posted on-leash and off-leash areas.

“Damn Tall Buildings” Heads to Voices Cafe; “one of the country’s hottest bluegrass/indie/Americana bands”
Voices Café is thrilled to bring Damn Tall Buildings to our music-loving audience for a lively evening with one of the country’s hottest bluegrass/indie/Americana bands, on Saturday, April 1st at 8pm.
Damn Tall Buildings, hailing from Brooklyn NY, bring together an engaging, creative trio with unmatched energy and enthusiasm, for a formula that promises to infectious, toe-tapping, hand-clapping bluegrass and so much more! Bluegrass, roots rock, old time, and vintage swing are among the influences on this acoustic Americana trio. Whether sharing lead vocals and instrumental solos or blending their voices into loose, joyous harmony, the three members of Damn Tall Buildings—multi-instrumentalist and primary lyricist Max Capistran (guitar and banjo), bassist Sasha Dubyk, and fiddler Avery Ballotta—delight in entertaining.
“If you like your bluegrass served with a little punch, attitude, grit and gravy, [Damn Tall Buildings brings]… bluegrass at its heart, but pulling from a wide range of influences including swing, ragtime, jazz, and even a hint of contemporary perspective in the songwriting, they offer virtually unmatched energy and enthusiasm, underpinned by intelligent songs that don’t skimp on the infectiousness...” — Savingcountrymusic.com
Damn Tall Buildings shares, “Our innate desire is to connect with people on a level that’s beyond day-to-day interaction. Our hope is that the joy that making this music brings us will somehow get passed along to the people listening, which they can then take with them to pass along to someone else. It’s a shared celebration of positive energy, and that’s what keeps us cooking.”
Enjoy café-style seating (at tables) or individual seating, bring your own beverages and snacks, or buy a snack from our sweet treats table. General admission: $25 per person. Groups of four or more can reserve table space. (Doors open at 7:30pm.) Livestream is also available. Tickets and Info at voicescafe.org
