The fifth annual edition of Princeton’s popular free multi-genre Porchfest will take place Saturday, April 25, at noon for five hours on multiple porches all over town with sets of live music. Performers do 45-minute sets. Applications to participate are being accepted now until February 12.

The ninth annual Asbury Park Porchfest will happen September 27 on porches all over town. Since inception, 600 bands have performed in the streets, in parks, and on people’s front porches, lawns and driveways.

It’s free, walkable and radical. Imagine a music festival where artists perform on people’s front porches at house after house. The concept of the front porch as musical stage will transpire in Montclair, Essex County, May 17.
