Natick PorchFest Set For Sept. 14

NATICK, MA — Looking for a fun music festival close to home? It might be closer than you think. Natick's PorchFest starts on Sept. 14 and is right in the neighborhood. Natick Center PorchFest is a grassroots community music festival happening on Saturday - September 14, 2019 from 2pm-6pm.

Musicians play on front porches, and attendees enjoy lots of free music and local color as they walk and bike around the neighborhoods. It’s a great opportunity for local musicians to share their talents with their neighbors, and for residents to discover their neighborhoods anew.

The festival takes place on the porches of generous hosts, who are sharing their porches and lawns with neighbors and the community around Pond Street in Natick Center. There will be lots of acts, from home grown to nationally-recognized, performing everything from Folk to Techno to Polka. Nonmusical performers are welcome as well. Check out the listings ahead of time to plan your route or start at your favorite performer and wander from there.

Natick Center PorchFest is family-friendly and features a wide variety of music so there’s sure to be a band or performance that sparks your interest. The event is completely free of charge.

Natick Center PorchFest does not have a contained festival area and will not be selling alcohol (or any food and drink). But patrons are welcome to grab a bite at any of the local business you spot along the route.

Since each venue is someone's porch, there will be no bathrooms. Residents can bring their dogs as normal street rules apply to them.

The rain date is Sunday September 15, 2019 from 2-6pm.
