This year, we named our information tent in Thompson Park after someone for the first time ever. Dustin Stuhr was a close friend, and a frequent Porchfest performer and volunteer over the years, who sadly passed away in July. Over his decades as a musician in Ithaca, Dustin played Porchfest with The Black Walnut Band, Chickenwire Parachute, The Habits, and Stone Cold Miracle, and helped out staffing street closures and working under that very info tent when he wasn't onstage. We miss our friend dearly, and we're honored to help keep his memory alive for many Porchfests to come.

If you’d like to give in Dustin’s memory, you can help his family out here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/dustins-als-journey-your-support-matters
