PorchFest Somerville is back!

On August 30, 2021, in Latest News, by The Somerville Times
CouchFest was fun but … doesn’t live, in-person music hit a little different? Join us Saturday, October 2, rain date October 3 from 12:00 to 6:00 p.m. PorchFest Somerville is on. We are moving back to our traditional approach with bands performing on local porches, while guests move through the city. This event is a decentralized effort among bands, neighborhoods, and community – this is not a festival per se.  The intent is to showcase Somerville’s musical talent.

Registration is open for musicians who want to participate in this year’s PorchFest on Saturday, October 2. Performers will be given a time to play based on where they are located: west of Willow Avenue performs from noon to 2:00 p.m., between Willow Avenue and Central Street performs from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., and east of Central Street performs from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.

    Can I just play on my porch or am I forced to have to register? If I’m not will be shut down?

    Even worse. You’ll be hauled off to the FEMA Music Camp for re-education.
