The Trefz Forum is Westport’s premiere venue for performances, film screenings, lectures and more. A vibrant gathering place in the heart of the Library, the Trefz Forum fosters an engaged community through civic, arts, and educational programming that reflects the creativity and curiosity of Westporters.
