250+ Porches, Band, and Artists returning to your neighborhood this year!
Musicians of all stripes will be the stars as they perform on Arlington’s lawns, porches, and stoops in a day of festivity and merriment. Our town-wide festival will be moving from west to east, from noon til 6pm. Listen to live music from Americana to Zydeco, watch creative dance performances, and view the work of resident artists on front porches throughout our neighborhoods.
If you have a porch in Arlington and a band all lined up, it’s not too late to participate. Your performance will not be visible on our printed map, but it will be visible on our digital interactive map. Sign up your porch and your band(s) here!
