Porchfest 2024

June 23, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT

 

Calling All Musicians! Join Our Community Porchfest Event

We are thrilled to announce that the RPCA is organizing a community Porchfest event, and we want you to be a part of it! Porchfest is a celebration of local music, where musicians perform on porches, driveways, and yards throughout the neighborhood for all to enjoy. We have heard that Riverview Park has some top-notch talent, and we have 16 musicians and groups to present!

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

Date: Sunday, June 23rd

Time: 12:00 – 5:00 pm

Location: Throughout Riverview Park 

Sets will be about 40 minutes to allow for socializing and travel between venues.

Rain prep – Sites should be set up so that performers are protected (porch/garage/carport) in case of rain!

Porchfest is a fantastic opportunity for musicians of all genres and skill levels to showcase their talent in a fun and laid-back environment. Whether you’re a solo artist, part of a band, or even a small ensemble, we invite you to participate and share your music with our community.

Sign Up
