Take part

PorchFest only happens because neighbors offer their front steps and bands say yes. Both take about five minutes to sign up.

a porch host

Got a porch, a stoop, a driveway? Host a stage. We ask about power, restroom access, how big a band your space fits, and whether you have a genre in mind.
