To help create a safe, organized, and enjoyable experience for everyone, Porchfest features a limited number of official performance porches. While we love the community’s enthusiasm, we kindly ask that neighbors not host unofficial performances during festival hours.Our official porches are carefully selected and coordinated to ensure performer and attendee safety, manage crowd flow, and provide a consistent experience throughout the event. Because of this, unofficial performances cannot be included on Porchfest maps, schedules, social media, or other promotional materials.Thank you for helping us make Porchfest a fun, safe, and successful event for everyone! If you'd like to participate next year, email us at porchfestoma at gmail dot com.
