2021 Update - 1/31/2021
Hey All.
We wanted to let you know that we've made the difficult decision to cancel Modesto Porchfest 2021 - and we will not be planning it’s replacement event: Modesto Couchfest. This was a very difficult decision for us. Like last year, we thought we'd sit tight and see if this whole thing would play itself out. However, given all we’ve learned about COVID-19, the uncertainty of the coming months, how complicated this has made many of our/your lives, coupled with the amount of time, hard work, and resources that get put into Modesto Porchfest early on, we've decided it was time to call it. We’re super missing the kind of joy these events bring to our lives - and we’re missing all of you. But it’s clear to us that we still can’t responsibly plan this event in the way we have for the last 4 years and not potentially put people at risk.
We know many will ask about alternative events, alternative dates, offer other ideas, etc. We appreciate the enthusiasm, but we’re making this decision as much for ourselves as the community. This past year has taken its collective toll and we need a minute.
We’re confident we’ll be back in 2022 - May 22nd to be exact! Until then, be well, stay creatively connected to people and community, find other ways to spark joy. And may Modesto Porchfest 2022 be free of worry, free of a pandemic, and full of hugs, high fives, great music, and wonderful neighbors.
Always in deep appreciation,
Your Modesto Porchfest Crew
Kate, Ruhi, and Tricia
