Ithaca’s 17th annual Porchfest is happening Sunday, September 21, and you can get involved now!

Sign up to perform at Porchfest
Everyone’s welcome, as long as you agree to our rules and sign up before the August 21 deadline.

Volunteer at Porchfest
It takes a fleet of volunteers to help Porchfest run safely and efficiently. Shifts are only two hours long, so you’ll have plenty of time left to enjoy the music too!

Vend at Porchfest
Applications are open now for food vendors and our third annual Makers Market.

Donate to Porchfest
Porchfest is funded in part by a Tompkins County Community Celebrations grant, as well as a percentage of merchandise sales and fees from vendors. The rest of our funding comes from the generosity of our neighbors who love the event and want it to keep happening. Our expenses include things like insurance, permits, private security, portable restroom facilities, and various other equipment and personnel, and your support helps us continue doing this crazy thing every year!

This year’s beautiful Porchfest artwork was created by Julian Plum! If you love it as much as we do, it’ll be available on t-shirts, tote bags and more at Porchfest and afterward.
