The Lineup

Take part

PorchFest only happens because neighbors offer their front steps, bands say yes and volunteers lend a hand. Each takes about five minutes to sign up.

Band
registration

Any genre, any level, any age. Tell us who you are, how many of you there are, whether you need power, and which slots work.

Register to be
a porch host

Got a porch, a stoop, a driveway? Host a stage. We ask about power, restroom access, how big a band your space fits, and whether you have a genre in mind.
