The neighborhood music festival is almost here!

Petworth Porchfest 2026 will feature more than 400 bands performing on over 150 porches on Saturday, May 30, 2026 from 2pm until 7pm. That’s a lot of free music within walking distance!

Plan Your Music Day
This year there are even more ways to explore the neighborhood before Porchfest begins. Check out these three tools to find the musicians, genres and porch locations for all the bands.

MAP - Want to know where the music is happening throughout the day? There is a Google map that shows the porch locations and lists the bands playing at each. Cool!

SCHEDULE - The updated interactive music schedule makes it easier to find the bands you want to check out. While you're browsing the schedule you can filter, listen to music samples and learn more about the bands playing this year. Rock on!

PORCHFINDER - This very new new tool helps you plan out your day. PorchFinder allows you to search and use multiple filters (time, genre, corridor) to identify the performances you want to check out during the festival. Save your favorites and share a custom itinerary with friends. Neato!

Prefer to go with the flow? Just follow your ears to discover new favorite bands.
