The 4th Annual Petworth PorchFest will take place on Saturday, April 27, 2024, with music on porches across the neighborhood from 2-6pm and music on the main stage at Petworth Park (8th & Taylor Streets) from 5-8pm.

This awesome neighborhood music festival brings the community together across the neighborhoods to enjoy a day of outdoor music and socializing, with neighbors hosting local talent on their porches. Last year, there were more than 150 bands on over 60-host porches across Petworth! Plus, Petworth Porchfest was voted Best Neighborhood Festival and Best Music Series by Washington City Paper readers.

This is a volunteer-run event, and they need your help to make this possible!

Sign up to host, perform or volunteer on the Porchfest website.

They also need sponsors to help cover the day. Consider sponsoring the event, or if you know a person or businesses who might be interested in sponsoring, connect them with the organizers. (Funds go to paying main stage artists and conducting outreach across the neighborhood. The event is run by neighborhood volunteers.)

Returning sponsors include Eddie Suarez of TTR Sotheby’s, Timber Pizza and Petworth Main Street. Smaller contributions are also welcome to help support the event! If you’re interested, you can make a donation on the Porchfest website.

For questions, please contact PetworthPorchfest@gmail.com.

The rain date will be Sunday, April 28th.
