What is PorchFest?

Jacksonville PorchFest Presented by Corner on Main is a free, family-friendly event held in Historic Springfield, a community just north of Downtown Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday, November 9, 2024. During the afternoon, dozens of bands perform on porches throughout this beautiful neighborhood. Food trucks are plentiful and a variety of craft beer and wine is available for purchase. Proceeds of PorchFest support arts related activities in Jacksonville’s urban core.

Is PorchFest really free?

Yes – thanks to our sponsors we are able to present this event at no cost to our guests.  We do pay all of our performers, so please consider purchasing a t-shirt and beverages to help support PorchFest. Donations are always welcome.

Is PorchFest walkable?  And is it pet and child friendly?

Yes – our route is only a few blocks long, and the streets where bands are performing are closed to make this event pedestrian, bicycle, child, and pet friendly. Friendly dogs on leashes are more than welcome. We love kids and kids love PorchFest – all of our music is family friendly.
