- Safe Porches - We will be restricting porches to areas and streets that are safe for pedesrians and keep corridors open for emergency vehicles and thru traffic. We are working with the City to close more streets and clearly define Porchfest areas. We will publish a map of streets open to porches by late January.
- LaLoma friends, please consider hosting this year, tell your friends!
- We highly encourage you to park you cars in designated areas and walk, bike, or golf cart in the Porchfest areas.
- Accepted Genres - Over the years, we have found that certain generes are better suited to the residential settings of Porchfest neighborhood porches. Our long term success depends on keeping our neighbors happy. Our 2025 application will reflect the generes that work for our neighborhood concert vibes. We are hosting many mini-Porchfest events throughout the year at different venues that are better suited for louder music styles. We will have a list of genres on our application, and we hope to host muscians outside of those categories at Tini Porchfest events throught the year.
Modesto Porchfest is a collection of 60+ individual porch parties throughout the LaLoma, College, and Downtown neighborhoods thrown by gracious hosts. 120+ Local bands will perform throughout the afternoon on porch, patio, and driveway "stages" throughout the neighborhoods.
Porchfest is a free event. Tip jars are available and we encourage you to tip our performers generously.
