 PorchFest 2017

Live Music, Food and Fun Take Over the Parks and Porches of Historic Springfield in Downtown Jacksonville, Florida

Saturday, Nov. 4, 2017 | Historic Springfield

 

What is PorchFest?

The fourth annual Jacksonville PorchFest will take place November 4, 2017 in Jacksonville’s oldest neighborhood, Historic Springfield.

The family-friendly free event features musicians from many genres. Organizers have selected more than 30 acts to play on porches throughout the historic district. Attendees stroll from porch to porch and “camp out” on front lawns as they enjoy live, local talent.  This year our main stage in Klutho Park will feature a noon performance by Kim Reteguiz and the Black Cat Bones and an evening show headlined by Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys.

Food trucks and artisan booths open at noon, and porch performances run from 1 to 5. Maps of porches and performers are available at the corner of Third and Silver Streets in Klutho Park. Parking is available along Main Street and near Klutho Park at Florida State College at Jacksonville.

"PorchFest was magical. It was a day for people from all over Jacksonville to celebrate the joy of life while listening to local musicians on the beautiful front porches of Historic Springfield."~ Michelle Guglielmo Gilliam, Springfield resident
“...PorchFest is easily my favorite Jacksonville event. Thank you so much for all you do and give to make PorchFest so truly spectacular, to showcase Springfield so joyfully and to bring our city together so beautifully. I saw friends, friends, friends, spoke with every kind of person imaginable -- all of whom were there to share in a singular and unifying experience together -- reveled in the sounds of my musician friends and expanded my musical appreciation for sure…” – Robert Arleigh White, former Executive Director of the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville
