SUMMARY:Reading PorchFest
DESCRIPTION:Volunteer-run festival aims to top 100 acts as performers and hosts sign up for 2026 celebration of music and community\n\nReading\, MA — Despite all the snow still on the ground\, it’s time again to start thinking about PorchFest. \nReading PorchFest returns for its eighth year on Saturday\, June 27. Links are now up at ReadingPorchFest.com for those who wish to perform\, to host a band or solo act\, or maybe both. \nReading PorchFest was born during the town’s 375th anniversary in 2019 and has grown every year since. Last year\, the festival boasted 99 separate musical acts at 46 locations\, including driveways\, front yards\, and\, of course\, porches. We hope to break the 100 mark this June. \nTo take part in this all-volunteer effort\, visit the website\, check out the instructions\, and join in for the 2026 edition. \nAs we get closer to the event\, the website will feature a gallery of performers\, and on the Facebook page watch for music snippets featuring samples of many of the upcoming performances. A complete map and schedule will be posted about a week before the event. \nIt is always a great day\, filled with entertainment combined with community spirit. \nMake sure to save the date – June 27 – running from noon until six pm.
