The 12th Annual Deering Center Porchfest

Sunday September 13th, 12-5pm

A FREE Family Fun Event

Our 12th Annual Deering Center Porchfest is on the horizon! Porchfest is a gift to and from our community. This annual event showcases 90+ musical performances throughout the neighborhood. Each year more than 500 individuals make this event happen through volunteering with logistics, performing, and hosting- it’s truly a community effort! Check out the guiding principles here.

The schedule for hosts and performers is almost finalized but we are still looking for Volunteer Ambassadors to help at the event for one hour!

• Volunteer Ambassadors are community members that volunteer for an hour time slot to support day-of efforts for Porchfest, ensuring a safe event for all by assisting with traffic monitoring, bands and their gear, and attendee questions. Sign up to be a Volunteer Ambassador here.

Details will be shared with DCNA email list and on social media (Facebook and Instagram). Feel free to email any questions in the meantime to deeringcenterporchfest@gmail.com.
