Milford Porchfest 2024

Porchfest is an annual music event coordinated by a group of volunteers who collaborate and work with musicians to host music annually on the front porches + lawns of homes in Milford, CT.

Porchfests are held across the US & Canada. Started in Ithaca, New York, in 2007, Porchfest events bring local musicians and neighborhoods together to celebrate and create a sense of community. 

Bands, singers, and instrumentalists participate in the festival for no other reason than to showcase their talents and engage the community. Music is diverse and can range from country to pop, classical, reggae, blues, rock, jazz, Latino, R&B, folk and many others. Musicians voluntarily take to the “stage” on porches at their designated times and perform for the public. Signs with artists’ names and performance times are usually posted in front of porches and online.
