Porchfest

Porchfests are annual music events held across the United States and in Canada on front porches.

Started in Ithaca, New York, in 2007, porchfest events bring local musicians and neighborhoods together to celebrate and create a sense of community.

[2] Bands, singers, and instrumentalists participate in the festival for no other reason than to showcase their talents and engage the community.

Music is diverse and can range from country to pop, classical, reggae, blues, rock, jazz, Latino, R&B, folk and many others.

[3] Because these are normally neighborhood events people walk, ride bikes or scooters, drive golf carts, or push strollers as they move from one porch to another along a determined route to partake in the festivities.
