Kingfield PorchFest 2023 Updated Bands and Sites!

By

Not breathing is hard, especially when you are trying to sing. Thus, we have had some cancellations in our schedule for Kingfield PorchFest tonight. Not to fear, we still have 37 sites and 56 performing groups! If you bike past a venue you thought was hosting music, please have the courtesy to respect their decision to not play this evening due to our air quality yesterday.

To participate in Kingfield PorchFest, just bike the neighborhood and listen for the keening fiddle, tooting jug, strumming guitar strings or inhale and exhale of the accordion.

Or plot your route using the updated Google map  found here: bit.ly/KingfieldPorchFestMap2023

or the printable Site and Band list found here: PorchFest 2023 Site List.

Please remember to pack your pockets full of dollars for tipping, and have your phone ready to Venmo both the performing groups, and KFNA for organizing this event!

Kingfield PorchFest: A Single Night of Music, Performed on Various Stages throughout the Neighborhood

By

For anyone new to the neighborhood or has been asleep the past nine years and is wondering, “What the heck is PorchFest?” PorchFest is an evening of community all wrapped up in the sounds of summer. On this single summer evening, Kingfield musicians will perform acoustic music outdoors at their respective homes, or at neighbor’s porch or yard, while others stroll through the neighborhood, enjoying the sounds. This event regularly features over 50 musical performances dozens of Kingfield stages.

As usual, PorchFest relies on the good will and donated time of musicians, amateur and professional, and host-porches. If you are willing to perform music, provide a porch, or both, register at https://bit.ly/Porchfest2023. Registering is vital to being part of Kingfield PorchFest as it helps us pair musicians with porches, make sure the music from each group does not overlap, and promote the event. Preferred registration is May 1st. Registering is NOT a confirmation of participating.

Based upon feedback from hosts, musicians, and participants last year, we are 1) looking for a variety of musical genres; 2) limiting the number of sites; and 3) looking for volunteers to help with planning and to volunteer during the event itself. We will have two or three planning meetings in May and the June 15th event. Please contact KFNA at if you want to be part of the PorchFest Planning Team.
