Our Mission

Established by the Westport community in 1973, the Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts remains an independent, unique and pioneering not-for- profit 501(c)(3) organization that exists to:

• Provide abundant free access to the performing arts;
• Present and support diverse and dynamic spectrum of artists from around the county, the country and the globe; and
• Preserve and cultivate an outdoor community destination where people of all ages and backgrounds are always welcome and encouraged get to know the arts, nature, and each othe

Over 95% of our annual programming and operations budget comes from sponsorship, grants, ticketed events – and individual donors and members. Supporting the Levitt Pavilion is ALWAYS IN SEASON!
