About Porchfest

Porchfest started in 2007 in Ithaca, NY, uniting musicians and neighbors to celebrate music in the community. Since then, Porchfests have spread across the country and can be found anywhere members of a community want to come together to unite over a shared love of local music and connection. 

Porchfest Annapolis will debut on June 14, 2025, from 11 am to 3 pm in the Germantown-Homewood neighborhood. Neighbors will volunteer their porches, stoops, or driveways, and local musicians will play for 45-minute sets. Annapolitans will be encouraged to walk from porch to porch throughout the fest to listen to the musical variety and connect with neighbors, friends, and fellow community members. 

 Though Porchfest Annapolis will be geographically organized in the Germantown-Homewood neighborhood this year, future organizing visions include spotlighting a variety of neighborhoods in Annapolis, aiming to present a rich variety of musical talent in the area.
