Westival continues to be a place where music, art, film, and performance meet community, curiosity, and connection, with Westport becoming a living canvas shaped by artists, audiences, volunteers, and the local community who give the festival its distinctive spirit. Built on collaboration and openness, Westival thrives through the shared energy of creatives, partners, funders, and supporters who believe in the power of the arts to bring people together. As we look ahead to our 50th year, our focus remains on creating bold, welcoming experiences that reflect the world we live in now while making space for new voices, fresh ideas, and meaningful moments of connection.
