What to Expect at
Saint Helena Porchfest
Porchfest is not your average music event—it’s a community-powered celebration of local talent, friendly neighborhoods, and spontaneous joy. Here’s what you can look forward to at the first annual Saint Helena Porchfest:
🎶 A Strolling Music Experience
Unlike traditional festivals with big stages and fenced-in areas, Porchfest invites you to walk, bike, or dance your way from porch to porch. Each stop will feature different local musicians playing everything from folk and jazz to blues, rock, and acoustic sets. Plan your route—or let your ears guide you!
🗺️ Maps & Info
Maps showing participating porches and set times will be available online ahead of time and at designated info tables on the day of the event. Keep an eye out for Porchfest signs and volunteers if you need help navigating.
🧺 Bring the Vibes
This is a laid-back, family-friendly event. Bring your picnic blankets, lawn chairs, refillable water bottles, and snacks! You’re also welcome to support local businesses along the way—many shops and cafes will be open.
🚶♀️ Walkable
Saint Helena Porchfest is designed to be walkable, so park your car and enjoy the charm of our tree-lined streets. Just remember to be respectful of neighbors’ property.
🧡 Respect the Neighborhood
All porches are generously offered by residents. Please treat them with gratitude and care. Leave no trace, keep sidewalks clear, and be kind to neighbors, volunteers, and fellow music lovers.
🍴 Enjoy local eats!
A variety of food trucks will be on-site serving up delicious options throughout the day—perfect for a picnic between porches.
