Here’s some Caldwell Porchfest Prep for tomorrow's event!

Caldwellporchfest.com has everything you need for event day including the schedule of performances, as well as a digital map and a printable version. There will be Porchfest volunteers at each location, and they will be able to help you as well.

There will be plenty of parking surrounding most of the porches, but the best and most enjoyable way will be to navigate the porches on foot, or bike. If you do drive, please do not park in front of the porches, and take note of any parking signs.

Most people pack water, snacks, and even lawn chairs to enjoy the performances. In case of inclement weather, you may want to bring an umbrella, and if the sun is shining, don't forget your sunblock!

All of the talented performers are volunteering their time, so please don't be shy and maybe carry some small change with you for tipping!

There are Porta johns available throughout town for the event, please refer to the map.

Last but not least, enjoy a great day for Caldwell! It wouldn't be possible without the collaboration of all the wonderful porch hosts, incredible performers, our sponsors, and our community who has supported us over the years!

There is still time to grab your gear for tomorrow and support the Caldwell Porchfest event and help generate the resources needed to elevate Caldwell's downtown via future projects and initiatives!

Our event shirt designs have become a coveted collector’s item, and since we may see a little rain, might as well snag a hat too! 🧢

Place an order today and pick it up even as early as today!
