Chamber of Commerce Announces Supper and Soul Concert Series

Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce:

Westport-Weston Chamber of Commerce (WWCC) and The Westport Library are pleased to announce the return of Supper & Soul, the hit Dinner and Concert series, after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. The event will be held on Saturday, May 7th. This long-awaited night will be capped off by a concert with the dynamic Cris Jacobs at the Forum of the Library following dinners at various restaurants throughout Downtown Westport.  

This is the eighth Supper & Soul event, after ten sold out Drive-In shows held in the interim on the Imperial lot, as the partnership between the Westport Library and the Chamber continues to bring music to the ears of our community.  

“The time is right to bring this back, people are ready to enjoy energizing downtown and spending a great Saturday night out on the Town,” said Matthew Mandell, Executive Director of the Chamber. “Cris Jacobs is the right act, he blew everyone away at the 2017 Blues Views and BBQ and now he’s back, just like this event.” 

The single ticket multi-faceted event entitles participants to enjoy a 3-course meal at one of eleven downtown restaurants, then see the concert and return to any of the same restaurants for happy hour pricing for drinks after the show.  The ticket for this event will be $90 per person for the dinner and concert, with concert only tickets available for $40.  Tickets go on sale this Friday March 4th at 10am. 

Participating downtown restaurants include: 190 Main, Amis, Arrezo, Basso, Capuli, Da Tapas, Don Memo, Manna Toast, Spotted Horse, Wafu and Walrus Alley each within walking distance of the Library. The dinner seating will take place at 6pm with the concert beginning at 8pm.  

“The Library’s forum space is the perfect venue for Jacobs with his rock and bluesy sound and what a cool opportunity get people out and about again,” said Bill Harmer, Executive Director of the Westport Library. “We are thrilled to be partnering with the Chamber on Supper & Soul to bring this event to downtown and we look forward to continuing this partnership with more concerts.”
