All you need is an outdoor space, such as a porch, lawn, or driveway. You’ll make your space available to performers and attendees.

No. While some hosts do choose to make these things available to attendees, it’s not required at all.

On the registration form, you will be asked whether or not you can provide electricity. If you cannot, we will try to pair you with a performer who doesn’t need it.

Yes, on the registration form you can designate a particular band or performer. If you don’t have one in mind, we’re happy to pair you with one or more.

If you don't know any bands/performers the Porch Fest team will assign acts to play on your porch. It is unlikely you'll have a performer for all four time slots - many porches will only have one or two bands playing...and that's OK! It means you have the chance to wander the neighborhood and check out some of the other porches!
