Porchfest is a free music festival taking place on the front porches of neighborhoods in small towns and large cities across the nation, and it’s coming to Grants Pass again this summer!

Porchfest is a revival of a tradition from the past, when time moved a little more slowly and folks gathered on their porches to visit with neighbors, family, and friends, brought out the guitar or fiddle, and made music together. This family-friendly, free, community-building event, the first in Oregon, started in 2017. This annual event will feature local musicians performing a variety of music genres on the front porches of historic Grants Pass homes. Porchfest occurs in the NW Washington Boulevard area of town, with the participating streets closed down to vehicle traffic.

Is Porchfest really free? Yes – thanks to the donations, the generosity of sponsors, and dedicated volunteers, the event is presented at no cost to guests. Musicians donate their time for this event, and guests can choose to tip the performers to show their appreciation of their generosity.

Besides the music, what else is there? There will be a marketplace for artists and crafter booths located on the median strip on Washington Blvd. Vendors with delicious food will be located in designated areas (please check Event Program); or bring your own picnic [no alcohol permitted].

Many of the recipients of the Porchfest funds will be having booths at the event. Please look out for booths for CASA of Josephine County, Family Solutions, Maslow Project, Our Foster Kids, and The Family Nurturing Center.

Of course, there is a raffle with many donated prizes.
