FREE Music and Arts Event
Belmont Porchfest
Saturday September 6, 11-6pm
   (rain date: Sep 7th)

Belmont’s Porchfest is a celebration of community through arts and music — performed by your friends and neighbors on porches, in yards, and all around town.

Bike to a friend’s house to hear klezmer, wander into a jazz trio down the street, or stumble upon a circus show on someone’s front lawn.

This year we’ve fit 113 performance groups on 70 porches — our biggest Porchfest yet!

🎉 Street Closures

To keep things safe and fun, we are closing six of our busiest blocks for performances:
If you live on one of these blocks, your host neighbor will drop off a flyer with details on arranging access if you need to come and go (though really — why leave when the party comes to you?)

Belmont Porchfest is about more than music. It’s about connection. Strong neighborhoods start with small moments — Porchfest helps create them.

Although Porchfest is free, there are costs associated with making it safe, fun, and comfortable.

👉 “If the weather looks uncertain, we’ll make a decision about moving to the rain date and post an update on the Porchfest homepage by 10:00 a.m. on September 6.

A little rain won’t stop us, but thunderstorms or other unsafe conditions will. In the event of adverse weather, hosts, performers, and audience members should prioritize safety.
