The City of Milford will launch its first annual PorchFest, an event where people play music on porches for an audience, on Sept. 28.
Discover Milford CT is leading the event, which runs from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
PorchFest started in Ithaca, New York in 2007 as a way to bring local musicians and neighborhoods together to celebrate and create a sense of community.
Bands, singers and instrumentalists of all genres are encouraged to sign up and participate in the event. Signs with artists’ names and performance times will be posted in front of porches and online.
A digital map will be continuously updated for location information. Plan to walk, ride bikes, or push strollers as you move from one porch to another along a determined route to partake in the festivities.
To play PorchFest, sign up here. To offer a porch, sign up here. To volunteer sign up here.
