Kingfield Neighborhood Association

IF This is what You Love About Kingfield, Please Show Us!

This is Kingfield Neighborhood’s signature event and 1000’s of community members come out to enjoy our amazing neighborhood, which overflows with so much talent. Neighbors can frequently be heard saying “THIS is what I love about Kingfield!”, as they fill the streets while free music fills the air.

Well, now is where you can SHOW your LOVE for PorchFest and keep it, and the Kingfield Neighborhood Association, strong into the future. Donate now and encourage others you know who value this great community and amazing event to also support it!

For anyone who missed this event the last the past 8 years and is wondering, “What is the heck is PorchFest?” Well, PorchFest is an evening of music, community, and summer! On a single summer evening, musicians will perform acoustic music at their respective homes or at a porch location donated by a neighbor, while others stroll through the neighborhood, enjoying the sounds and talent of their neighbors.

Musicians and hosts sign up by end of the day May 16h… and everybody save the date for June 16 for a night of community talent and fun!

Check out the map of the 20 stages throughout the neighborhood!

PorchFest is an evening of acoustical music held at multiple outdoor venues throughout Kingfield on a single evening. PorchFest is a chance for musicians to share their music with their neighbors and a chance for neighbors to walk the dog, stroll the baby, or pack a cool beverage and meander with their sweetie from home to home enjoying the talent of our amazing neighborhood!

We are not a “homeowners association” or a membership organization. Everyone in Kingfield belongs to KFNA. Our work is often low visibility, behind the scenes, and focused on supporting community members. In these uncertain times this support is critical.  Yet the reality is that the city of Minneapolis is facing significant budget pressures and KFNA’s financial support will be cut significantly over the next several years. To continue to exist in our current capacity, we need donations and engagement from you, as neighbors and stakeholders.

Please consider a financial donation to allow KFNA to continue to be an active community builder and voice at the table.  Every dollar helps. Support KFNA Directly this week with any size donation this week as part of Give to the Max.
