About Sigrid Schultz Plaza
Sigrid Schultz Plaza refers to the Elm Street parking area in downtown Westport, CT 06880. Named by the Westport RTM in 2019 after Sigrid Schultz, the plaza functions as a municipal parking and pedestrian area rather than a dedicated performance venue. Signage on site may be limited, but the space is a familiar hub for locals and visitors who are exploring Westport’s downtown core.
Whether you’re visiting for a festival, a warm-weather stroll, or a casual hello to Westport’s dining scene, this plaza sits at the heart of downtown and connects you to shops, waterfront views, and cultural events. We’ve got you covered with practical parking guidance, transit options, and nearby lodging and dining picks to help you plan a smooth visit.
Parking at Elm Street is part of the broader downtown parking system. Expect limited all-day spots and a small number of timed spaces, with three-hour limits in many town lots and two-hour on-street limits introduced in 2025. For transit, Metro-North service serves the Westport area, alongside local Norwalk Transit District buses. The Westport Downtown Association offers current parking and transport details to help you navigate busy event days, such as the Westport Fine Arts Festival, which can affect traffic and street access nearby.
Nearby accommodations include Delamar Westport (1595 Post Road East, Westport, CT 06880).
