Porchfest is free and open for anyone to attend or perform. Performances take place on porches, and in driveways, in a celebration of our vibrant creative community.

Porchfest began in Ithaca, New York in 2007, inspired by some outdoor ukulele playing and a conversation between neighbors. They came up with the idea for it that day and gathered 20 bands to make it happen in September of that year.

The number of independent Porchfests has increased every year since then, with an official 220 porchfests around the world in 2024 including Canada and Australia.

We’re super-excited to host the first Porchfest in Sebastopol, CA.

[Gee, where else are they?]
