MoCA Postpones Holiday Open House due to Weather

The Museum of Contemporary Art Westport announced that they will be postponing their free holiday open house - which originally scheduled for tomorrow - until next Saturday due to forecasted inclement weather.

“The event will now take place on Saturday, December 12 due to inclement weather expected on Saturday, December 5th. We appreciate the support of our community over the last year, and are thrilled to invite you to a free Open House event. The event will feature:

  • Outdoor caroling by small groups of the Orphenians of Staples High School

  • Complimentary admission to our World Peace exhibition

  • A holiday-themed project for kids

  • Performances by teachers and students from the Westport School of Music

In addition to complimentary hot chocolate provided by Sheila Barton Events and free doughnuts provided by Grateful Food Company, food and drinks will be available for purchase from on-site outdoor vendors including The Melt Truck, which specializes in unique grilled cheese sandwiches, and Bubble & Brew, featuring coffees, teas and baked goods.

In lieu of an admission fee, please consider bringing an unwrapped toy, which will be donated to the Westport Police Department Annual Toy Drive.

In the case of inclement weather, the event will be cancelled. 

*All safety and health protocols, including the wearing of masks, will be explicitly followed. “
