PHOTOS: 9th Annual Napa Porchfest Fills Old Town With Music, Fans

NAPA, CA — Another successful Napa Porchfest is in the record books. Held annually the last Sunday of July, the free one-day event features Napa musicians performing on the historic porches of Napa's Old Town.

The popular event runs from 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. and in addition to music every which way, Fuller Park turns into a food court of sorts, with snacks and beverages offered by a variety of food trucks and other vendors.

About 300 or so lucky spectators got some free cotton candy, courtesy of local resident Ned Roscoe. He said his parents gave him a cotton-candy maker when they moved away from Napa, so he came up with the idea of giving out free cotton candy. Adults and children alike loved the sweet treat.

This year marked the ninth annual Napa Porchfest brought to the community by local nonprofit, Napa County Landmarks. A crowd of about 13,500 turned out and there were 113 musical acts in Old Town, according to Napa Valley Register's coverage of the event. There were no arrests connected to Sunday's event, the newspaper reported.
