Westport PAL Fireworks Return to Thrill Thousands at Compo Beach

`Spectacular Fireworks Display returns to Compo Beach thanks to Westport PAL, Town of Westport and Melissa & Doug`

After being denied one of Westport's most cherished summer events for two years due to the COVID pandemic, Westport's biggest party by far came home to Compo Beach. Thanks to Westport PAL, the Town, and of course the continued tremendous generosity by Westport's Melissa and Doug Bernstein and their eponymous company: the skies lit up once again on Thursday night.

Some brought coolers and blankets, other erected illuminated tents adorned with various forms of Old Glory that began arriving earlier in the day with their owners returning later to get the party started.

Disaster was averted by the quick response of Westport and Norwalk marine units who assisted the crew of Fireworks by Grucci in dousing a fire abroad one of the barges before any real harm was done; the show not really interrupted.

Westport PD kept the traffic flowing freely capping of a great and memorable night for Westport and area families.
