Help clean up our neighborhood on April 25th!

Deering Center Garden Ramble, where neighbors share their gardens and yards with each other in a FREE, non-competitive (not a garden show!) casual stroll. A great way to get to know neighbors, meet new friends, share glimpses of our back (and front) yards, and share those extra seedlings you don’t have room for in your garden. The Garden Ramble rotates to different parts of the neighborhood every year, below is the map area for the 2026 Deering Center Garden Ramble.

Our 12th Annual Deering Center Porchfest is on the horizon! Porchfest is a gift to and from our community. This annual event showcases 75+ 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.

Forms to sign up to be a Host, Performer, and Volunteer Ambassador will open May 5th:

• Hosts are neighbors on Leonard, Richardson, Alba, Best, Brentwood, Bedell, Crosby, Hyde, Hamblet, New, Newman, Pleasant, one block of Mabel, and Leland (between Crosby and Alba) that offer their porch, driveway, or yard for an hour time slot for incredible performers.

• Performers are community members that share their amazing musical talents with a roaming audience for a 30-60 minute time slot. Solo artists and group performances are welcome.

• 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.
