Porchfest is coming to Petworth, and they’re looking for bands, volunteers… and porches.

Petworth PorchFest 2021 will take place on Saturday, April 24th, from 2-6pm. Following in the footsteps of other successful PorchFests throughout the District, Petworth PorchFest is a neighborhood-wide live music event that will feature dozens of bands hosted on porches throughout Petworth.

“The event will celebrate the arts, local talent, our community and the generosity of residents who provide their front porches as stages. You can enjoy this event by strolling through the neighborhood and stopping to listen to a variety of bands at your leisure,” wrote co-organizer Clara Haskell Botstein.

According to Clara, Petworth PorchFest will follow District guidelines regarding COVID-19, including social distancing and mask wearing.

They already have five bands signed up and 10 hosts volunteering their porches. Want to help out?
