On Labor Day weekend one of the largest music festivals Fairfield County will see this year returns to the Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts. Fans of blues, rock and funk will not want to miss Blues Views and BBQ on September 3 and 4. The Westport Downtown Merchants and the Levitt Pavilion are partnering with Westport's BBQ trailblazer Bobby Q's to offer two days of food, music and fun.

The all-star music lineup will include artists such as The Funky Meters, Anders Osborne, Mike Broussard, The Revivalists and Matt Schofield.

Along with food and music, enjoy family fun at Jessup Jam on the upper Westport Library grounds with bouncy amusements, face painting, henna artists, cooking demos and BBQ competitions. The panel returns this year to judge "Cookin' for a Cause," which benefits Westport Women's Club Food Closet‘s support for local families in need. The second stage will feature the best CT-based and family-friendly musicians.
