WESTPORT — ”How to enjoy summer in Westport to the max?” will be the focus of a Westport Journal roundtable discussion at 6 p.m. June 9 at the Ned Dimes Marina. The event is free but registration is required here.

Summer in Westport is special. There are so many things for adults and children to do, it is hard to cover them all in a single roundtable discussion. Compounding that, it can be difficult to get the hang of how exactly to do the things you want to do. Here are some questions that keep Westporters up at night:

• How does anyone get a tee time at Longshore?

• How do I reserve a tennis court?

• Do I need to secure a slip before I buy a boat?

• What’s a good parking strategy for the fireworks?
  
• Reservations at hot new restaurants?

• Camp activities for the kids?

• Farmers markets and pick-your-own?

We’ve assembled a group of experts in Westport activities, who will draw us through the options and the how-tos:

• Carmen Roda, operations manager, Town of Westport Parks and Recreation Department
• David McPherson, founder/owner of Sea Kayak Connecticut
• Massimo Tullio, owner, The Whelk and Don Memo
• Christy Colasurdo, Wakeman Town Farm

The roundtable will take place at 6 p.m. June 9 at the Ned Dimes Marina clubhouse, 50-60 Compo Beach Road. The event is free to attend but attendees must register beforehand here. 

Westport Journal LIVE is a series of public meetings that put readers in the same room with local thought-leaders. 

Past topics in the series have included: What kind of downtown does Westport want? and What kind of Saugatuck does Westport want? 

Future programs are planned on: Consider Weston, Fall culture preview (Sept. 4, Westport Library), Westport Civics 101, First Selectmen debate (Oct. 16, Greens Farms Academy).

Westport Journal LIVE is underwritten by the KMS Team at Compass.
