PorchFest returns to Reading: a celebration of local music, talent, and community

Jun 8

Get ready for an afternoon of music, neighbors, and community spirit - PorchFest is coming back to Reading on Saturday, June 28!

PorchFest is a free, family-friendly festival where musicians perform all over town on front porches, lawns, driveways, and courtyards. The event brings together residents of all ages to enjoy live music in a casual, welcoming setting - no tickets required, just bring your curiosity and maybe a lawn chair!

This community-driven celebration is powered entirely by volunteers: the organizers who plan the day, the performers who share their talents, the residents who offer their PorchFest and driveways as stages, and Town of Reading employees who help make it all possible. Whether you’re a musician, a music lover, or someone with a porch to spare, there’s a way for everyone to participate.

Want to perform or host a venue?

Originally launched in 2019 as part of Reading 375, PorchFest was such a hit that it’s now an annual tradition. So mark your calendars, gather your friends and family, and prepare for a one-of-a-kind afternoon that showcases the best of Reading’s local talent and neighborly charm.

Stay tuned to ReadingPorchFest.com for the latest updates, maps, and registration info.

Let the music play - and we’ll see you on the porch!
