A FEW REMINDERS
Porchfest is a neighborhood event, so please be respectful of our neighbors and their property.
And most importantly: PACE YOURSELF. There is a LOT happening between 11 and 6. You don't have to do it all. Pick a few things, wander, discover something new, eat something delicious, and enjoy being outside with your neighbors.
THANK YOU to our incredible volunteers, porch hosts, performers, sponsors, vendors, and everyone who helps make this ridiculous little neighborhood festival happen. We couldn't do it without you.
Now get out there. LET'S PORCHFEST! 🎉🎶🏡
