Dear Porchfest Friends:
Thanks to your porch, your music, and your dancing feet, Arlington Porchfest 2025 is poised to be our biggest and best festival ever. We’re looking forward to yet another joyful, community-powered event, filled with rhythm and heart, on Saturday, June 21. It’s our 8th celebration since the start in 2016, and everyone’s invited!

Here’s the thing: Arlington Porchfest is free to attend, but it’s not free to produce. As the organization behind Arlington Porchfest, Arlington Center for the Arts (ACA) works many months each year to facilitate and promote 300+ performances, provide guidance to porches and bands, and coordinate logistics so that literally thousands can enjoy one of our town’s most treasured events — absolutely free.
If Arlington Porchfest has ever inspired you or brought you joy — we invite you to invest in ACA so that we can continue delivering this great event to Arlington year after year. Your donation of any amount helps ACA to keep Arlington Porchfest free and accessible. Your generosity also helps support other signature events like Arlington Open Studios, The Great Northeast Jug Band Festival, and year-round exhibits. In fact, if every friend of Arlington Porchfest donated just $25, it would help offset the cost of all of ACA’s free events throughout the year.

Every porch host, every musician, every festival-goer – you’re all part of something bigger. Please help ACA keep the music playing and our community creating, connecting, and celebrating through the arts. Donate online to ACA at www.acarts.org/donate.
With Gratitude and Groove,
Tom
