We need sponsors, volunteers, porch hosts, musicians, and businesses to help make the event a success. Volunteers are needed leading up to the event and during the event to help place signs, drop off tip buckets, and check on porches. Head over to the "Get Involved" tab if you'd like to sign up to volunteer, host, play, or host as a business.
Porchfest is a rain-or-shine event. Any major updates or changes will be shared on our website and social media.
Some porch hosts may put out seating for guests, but because it is not a requirement, seating is not guaranteed. Since each performance lasts approximately one hour, guests who need seating are encouraged to bring their own chair or blanket to ensure they have a place to sit.
