Dog Festival Postponed to October 17th

Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce

Due to potential rain and forecasted sustained winds the Westport Dog Festival scheduled for this Sunday October 10th, will now take place on Sunday October 17th 10-4pm , with a new back up rain date of October 24th.


After consultations with the Town, Fire Department and meteorologists, the combination of potential rain and wind has created a bad recipe for a fun all day event outside. Therefore the event is being postponed to the previously slated rain date of Sunday October 17th.


"The goal is always to have a fun, safe and dry event," said Matthew Mandell, Executive Director of the Chamber." This is the prudent decision based on the forecast. We have been through this before and we look forward to a great festival next weekend."


This postponement is the third weather related move in five years for this event, with one year requiring a double rescheduling.
