Porches Needed!

Contribute to the venues that will bring Porchfest to life! Porches work, but so do stoops, yards, and driveways! Any space allowing for a street-facing performance works best. *Because we need to close the street, homes on busy main streets may not be able to host.*

Sign up on our home page by clicking on the, "I have a Porch!" button.
Get selected as one of ten host homes.
