About porchfest
where it began...
Inspired by a Cultural Chaos afterparty and fond experiences of past Porchfests, two Easthampton neighbors began asking themselves — what if we had a Porchfest here? Wouldn’t it be a great way for neighbors to come together and celebrate all the unique music and musicians here in Easthampton? Thus was the seed of Porchfest in Easthampton sown.
Think about Porchfest as kind of like Open Studios (typically for visual artists) but for music instead. Easthampton Porchfest is a great way for neighbors to connect with one another, share their enjoyment for playing and listening to music, and to celebrate all the unique music and musicians here in Easthampton.
...Where it's going
Following two incredibly successful Porchfests organized with the help of Easthampton City Arts, a group of Porchfest performers and hosts started a new, nonprofit group, Easthamptonings , in January 2025 in order to grow not only Porchfest, but other fun/free/funky happenings around Easthampton, aka "Easthamptonings."
Want to Get involved?
Here's How!
Are you a Performer?
Calling all bands, musicians, comics, poets, storytellers, and anyone else willing to share your talent with your neighbors!
Are you a potential host?
Have a porch, driveway, backyard, frontyard, maybe even a sideyard and a burning desire to host your neighbors?
What if I have neither porch nor talent,
but I still want to help?
Oh, you sweet, beautiful human!
Porchfest is the product of many hands and
we'll need more both before and during this year's Porchfest as we continue to grow!
What's that?
You have no talent, you can't host, and you don't want to volunteer, but you still want to help?
Good news, we take money too!
