Thank you everybody for an incredible first event! It was better than we could've hoped for (especially with the rain holding off)! The amount of smiles across the city was a joy to see. We hope to see you again next year!

What is Porchfest?

Porchfest is an afternoon of free music (and other performances) performed outside of people’s homes - on porches, patios, driveways, and lawns.

What kind of groups can perform?

Any and all are welcome! You can play solo or with a group; with instruments or a capella. Any type of music is welcome. We also welcome other types of performances, such as dance or spoken word; use the “other” genre category when signing up.
