Westlake's newest school-year kickoff is here: WestFest, Sunday, August 16 from 3–5pm at the Westlake High School football field. It's free and open to the whole community.
Meet the fall sports teams and coaches, catch the marching band, grab food from local trucks, and see what groups like the PTA and Music Boosters are all about. It's put on by the Westlake Demons Athletic Boosters (WDAB) to build momentum for Westlake athletics heading into the new year.
Kids must be with an adult — this isn't a drop-off event.
See you on the field. Go Demons!

Welcome to the Westlake Fire Department, Matt Freeman and Asher Crawford!
Both were sworn in today at City Hall, surrounded by family, city leadership, and the department they're now proud to call home.

Please join us in welcoming our two newest firefighters!

For today’s 250th Tuesday social media post, we’re showing how one woman is joining us in the celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
Hornell, NY resident Julie Feenaughty called City Hall to see if she could receive the special-edition Westlake 250 logo. (Her daughter Heather helped design the logo, works as the PR/Marketing Manager for Porter Public Library and is a Westlake resident!)
Julie then created flags to fly on her RV travel adventures this summer. Thank you, Julie, for eagerly showing your Westlake pride and America pride during your recent travels to Hartsville, NY and North East, PA!
