JP Porchfest, now going into its 5th year, is a vibrant music and arts festival that takes place on porches (and patios, stoops, driveways, church/community center yards…) all over the neighborhood. A huge audience roams all corners of the neighborhood, taking in the wonderful diversity of performances.

Our mission is to bridge the divides of race, class, culture and immigrant status through the power of the arts. We welcome performers of all kinds (music, dance, theater, spoken word, storytelling, circus arts, comedy…) and from anywhere (no need to be or know a JP resident).

Signups for Performers and Porches are now closed - check back here soon to see the map and schedule!

We are a grassroots, volunteer effort – we welcome (and NEED!) your donations, small or large! Please Now!
