HOST MUSIC ON YOUR PORCH

Kenwick Porch Fest relies on the excitement and generosity of our Kenwick neighbors. KPF Performers play on front porches and stoops throughout our beautiful neighborhood and share their art with our community. There are two ways to host performers on your porch- you can independently find and ask someone you know to play on your porch (they still will need to submit a Performer application. You can also offer your porch without having a performer lined up. Our favorite part of organizing this event is playing matchmaker between Porch Hosts and Performers and setting up the best fits for everyone involved.
