STAFFORD CONNECTICUT

A town wide celebration in honor of International Play Music on the Porch Day

 

Join us as we Explore Stafford and enjoy music on porches, in parks, and throughout town. Experience a day-long lineup of multi-genre performances from a variety of bands and artists, bringing their unique sounds to the streets.  Stroll from spot to spot, enjoy a variety of performances, and experience the creativity and community spirit that make PorchFest a special Stafford tradition. Bring your friends, family, a lawn chair, and your favorite snacks as we celebrate local talent, neighbors, and the sounds of summer. Whether you’re here for the music, the atmosphere, or simply a chance to gather with the community, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Stafford Porchfest is a nod to “International Play Music on the Porch Day,” a global movement celebrating music, community, and creativity.​​

 

Bands, singers, and instrumentalists participate in the festival for no other reason than to showcase their talents and entertain the community. From strumming guitars to digeridoos and, a wide variety of sounds will make Stafford groovier than ever! Performers voluntarily take to the "stage" at their designated times and perform for the public. Artists' names and performance times are posted on this “Groove Map” and displayed in-person on lawn signs in front of respective concert locations.
