Go to hear a range of music from local artists. Catch a trumpet performance. Dance to covers performed on a ukulele. Appreciate the experimental genres like "swag-pop," "space rock," "songs for movies" and "freestyle singing."

The event starts at noon and goes until 6 p.m. Shows start at noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Check the event map to figure out where to go and when.

New for 2019, Porchfest is selling T-shirts. Profits from sales will go directly to the cost of running Porchfest.
