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.
A small stipend is extended to each performer. Admission is free and open to the community. Artist performances serves as a gift to the neighborhood and to the community. There will be tip jars at each porch and at the public locations for attendees to show their appreciation of the generosity of performers. Performers are also free to sell their music and other merchandise at the event should they choose.
