The beautiful colors of fall foliage lining Elm Street provided the perfect backdrop for one of Westport's favorite fall events, the annual Westport Downtown Merchants Association's 3rd annual Westoberfest.

Billed mainly as a beer tasting event with more than a score of craft brews available for the tasting from area micro-breweries, great beer is only the beginning for visitors to enjoy.  Delicious culinary delights of all kinds were available from several food trucks as well as fresh baked goods from vendors properly attired in Lederhosen, sampling of delectable treats from Bridgewater Chocolatiers, and many other food offerings including traditional German bratwurst.

For the younger guests there were many activities including various games located in and around the family activity area as well as do it yourself art projects with the guidance and assistance from the Westport Artists Collective and face painting adding to the fun and festive family atmosphere.
