Porchfests are annual music events held across the United States and in Canada on front porches. Started in Ithaca, New York in 2007, porchfest events bring local musicians and neighborhoods together to celebrate and create a sense of community. Porchfest music festivals began as a means for neighbors and local community members to highlight artists on front porches. Bands, singers, and instrumentalists participate in the festival for no other reason than to showcase their talents and engage the community. Musicians voluntarily take to the "stage" on porches at their designated times and perform for the public. Admission is FREE and no tickets is required.

Great questions! We advise you to bring your own folding chair, water and an umbrella just in case we get sprinkles or to block the sun from beaming down on you. Also, be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring good vibes!
Feel free to bring your own food and beverages. Just remember that each venue is someone's home or business, so please be sure to clean up after yourself. Or don't pack any food and instead support the local food vendors! PLEASE NOTE: There are currently no plans for an officially contained Porchfest DC festival area. The entire event takes place in individually owned yards, the public streets in between and some commercial areas. When in public, you are subject to the usual laws regarding alcohol consumption.
