VerSOFEST’25 IS…

4 Days of Music, Media & Creativity

VersoFest is The Westport Library’s annual music and media conference and festival where knowledge is shared and inspiration is discovered — a forum for media creators, artists, and fans to converge.

VersoFest includes panels where experts share their perspective and vision. Intimate workshops provide creators the opportunity to deconstruct, improve, and hone their craft. Performances entertain and inspire.

“The Hippest Damn Library In The Whole Country”

Our Library isn’t just about books — it’s a cultural powerhouse that brings world-class entertainment right to our community. This bold reimagining of what a Library can be has created an unforgettable fusion of media and live performance, making us a beacon for both artistic excellence and community engagement. While some libraries whisper “quiet please,” we’ve mastered the art of knowing when to turn up the volume and let the music speak.
