Watertown Porchfest 2024

***We're still on for Saturday! We've been watching the weather closely! The National Weather Service current forecast shows: "Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible." We've decided this doesn't warrant the considerable dropoff in participation we'd get in changing to Sunday. From video forecasts as well it looks like if the occasional shower pops up, it shouldn't last long and it shouldn't be very heavy. So we hope it won't be too disruptive to the day!***

What is Porchfest?
Porchfest is an afternoon of free music (and other performances) performed outside of people’s homes - on porches, patios, driveways, and lawns.

What kind of groups can perform?
Any and all are welcome! You can play solo or with a group; with instruments or a capella. Any type of music is welcome. We also welcome other types of performances, such as dance or spoken word; use the “other” genre category when signing up.
