Somerville’s PorchFest returns this year on Saturday, May 14, 12:00 – 6:00 p.m. The event is “not a festival per se,” but an open invitation for artists to perform on local porches across the city. Artists also raise money for local charities. Each year, PorchFest raises thousands of dollars for local and global charities.

“We have a high number of bands who have registered. It should be a lot of fun,” said Gregory Jenkins, Executive Director of the Somerville Arts Council. “I recommend that people stay out of the streets, no public consumption of alcohol. Go to our map (https://somervilleartscouncil.org/porchfest/2022) and look for porta johns. Have an amazing time and be respectful of neighbors. There is a ton of great music out there.”

Interested musicians can register through the Somerville Arts Council event page at https://somervilleartscouncil.org/porchfest. The deadline is May 12.  See you out there!
