What is PorchFest Quincy?
PorchFests are FREE 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. PorchFest music festivals began as a means for neighbors and local community members to highlight their music on front porches. 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, and many others. Musicians voluntarily take to the "stage" on porches at their designated times and perform for the public.
A porch makes a great stage, but a front yard or driveway will work just fine. We will make it work if you want to be a part of the fun!
Where is PorchFest Quincy?
We are starting PorchFest Quincy in Wollaston and other areas where there is enough interest. It very important to us that bands have a good audience, so we are looking to find groups of porches together. This way, the bands have a good audience and porches are within an easy walking distance.
