PorchFest Bringing Music To South Wayne Porches Sept. 9 – Patch.com

WAYNE, PA South Wayne will turn into a veritable music festival in September, as the first ever South Wayne PorchFest is set for Sept. 9.

"What is PorchFest," you may ask. PorchFest is a community music event where musicians perform on residential porches during the daylong event.

For the first time ever, 17 Wayne porches from St. Davids Road through Windemere Avenue will turn into stages from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 9.

Nealy 30 performers with a broad range of genres are on board for the festival so far. They include How To Trick A Bear, Death To Saul, Sunny Side Girls, Main Line Bluegrass Jam, local school bands, and much more.

Check out the full list of performers online here.

As the festival draws closer, organizers will release a map of participating porches and who is performing on those porches.

The festival is completely free and artists are performing free of charge.

Volunteers and more performers are sought by organizers. Anyone interested in helping out or performing during the festival should email Organizer@SouthWaynePorchFest.com.

PorchFest began in 2007 in Ithaca, New York and since then has spread across the country and Canada, organizers said.
