WESTPORT – The Westport Downtown Association (WDA) is presenting Fashionably Westport for the sixth year, an evening that brings together fashion, community, and philanthropy in support of Homes with Hope. 

This year’s event, on Saturday, April 25 from 7-10 p.m. at the Westport Library, features more than 20 local boutiques, seven salons, and a lineup of 90 models. 

“The WDA is excited to host our 6th annual Fashionably Westport in support of Homes with Hope,” said Maxwell Crowley, President of the WDA. “It’s a great opportunity to bring the community together while highlighting and supporting our local businesses.” Tickets may be purchased through Eventbrite.

Lonnie Quinn, an Emmy Award-winning meteorologist and the chief weathercaster for CBS News, New York, since 2007, will serve as co-emcee. A Westport resident, Quinn brings both energy and local connection to the evening. Also co-hosting is Dave Briggs, a former CNN, NBC Sports, Fox News, and Turner Sports anchor who has lived in Westport with his family since 2008. Finally, Carey Price, owner of Westport-based The Cove Collective, will return as runway director. Price is a Parsons School of Design alum with experience working alongside top fashion designers. 

A silent auction will benefit Homes with Hope. In 2024, the WDA raised $20,000 and hopes to exceed that goal this year. This year, the local business community has shown up with more than 100 donations. 

AMG Catering & Events is the caterer for this year’s event. Owned by Alison Milwe Grace, a Westport native and award-winning chef, the company brings nearly three decades of experience. A familiar presence in the local community, Alison is known for her standout cuisine and for hosting events at Wakeman Town Farm. 

This year’s program will feature a live performance by Owen Daniel, a Weston–based singer and songwriter.
