The Commons

Westport Village includes strong amenity space, outdoor public space and public art. One such amenity space, which serves as a centrepiece of the entire Westport Village complex, is known as The Commons. The Commons can be expanded or contracted, depending on the event or need, by closing the area to vehicles and incorporating the border areas as part of the large community space.

The Commons is designed to be utilized for a broad range of activities, including: art shows, craft shows, flea market, flower market, farmers market, garage sales, community day events (May Day, etc.), musical events, entertainment, recreational activities, buskers, antique shows, special exhibits, book festivals, jazz festivals, and a host of other special events and activities.
