ABOUT PORCHFEST
In 2007, in Ithaca, New York, Lesley Greene and Gretchen Hildreth had an idea: What if we had an afternoon when porches across a neighborhood became stages and everyone meandered from yard to yard, listening, hanging out, and connecting/reconnecting with their neighbors?
​
PorchFest, the ultimate grassroots music event, was born. 100% run by residents, it’s been going and growing every year since. And in that time, other neighborhoods around the country have taken up the idea (including us).
​
The event in St. Louis was begun by Washington University students and is now a project associated with the Skinker DeBaliviere neighborhood, which hosts the event each fall.

BANDS
More than 30 bands across a wide-range of genres are signed up to play PorchFest STL 2023. As the neighborhood porch portion of the festival winds down, the Saint Boogie Brass Band will lead a New Orleans-style parade to the main stage area where there will be two headline acts, singer-songwriter Hillary Fitz followed by R &B performers, the Diamond K Band.
