SUMMARY:Wakefield Porchfest 2025
DESCRIPTION:WAKEFIELD\, MA – The Wakefield Porchfest Committee has developed a guide for attendees planning to attend the 2025 event\, which will take place from 12:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday\, September 6\, 2025. The event will feature 134 musical acts at 67 locations across the community (current schedule below). The following points will ensure a safe\, fun event for everyone! \n\nThe event website (wakefieldporchfest.com) is the place to find the latest schedule\, band lineup\, and venues\, as all performances are subject to change. Printed schedules are also available at the following businesses: Cravings\, Hobby Bunker\, Life Love Cheese\, Main ST Grille & Taphouse\, North Ave Diner\, Remedy Exchange\, Rise & Shine\, Waves/Lakeside Inn\, Slice\, and Sweetbay Flowers and Gifts.\n\n\nThe event is *100 percent free* but some artists may ask for tips or sell merchandise if a host allows it. Please support your local musicians!\n\n\nThis is designed as a community-forward\, family-friendly event! Please take care while driving\, walking\, and moving between venues. Respect the host properties\, their neighbors\, and other attendees.\n\n\nThis is a highly walkable event\, with multiple venues clustered in neighborhoods around Wakefield. Use the interactive map on wakefieldporchfest.com to find nearby hosts.\n\n\nRemember to bring a folding chair\, blanket\, water\, and an umbrella\, in case of light rain or to block the sun. Wear comfortable shoes. If you’re attending with kids\, portable activities are recommended.\n\n\nPlease use sidewalks when moving from house to house. Enjoy live music on the lawn or in the driveway\, while keeping all public sidewalks and roadways free and clear.\n\n\nThe Wakefield Porchfest organizers have not closed any streets\, although certain hosts have worked with the Town of Wakefield to secure block party permits. Those specific hosts are responsible and must follow the guidelines provided to them by the Town.\n\n\nPorchfest provides the opportunity to hear musical acts in a variety of genres and styles. Use the schedule to discover new acts. If you don’t like something you hear\, there’s always another venue with new acts nearby!\n\n\nIf you are driving\, remember that town parking restrictions are in effect on Saturdays! There are paid parking lots along North Avenue and near Greenwood Station.\n\n\nAlcohol consumption is up to the discretion of each host. Please do not drink on public sidewalks or roadways! If you decide to drink\, please make a plan to use taxis or rideshares to get home.\n\n\nPorchfest hosts are not obligated to provide bathrooms for participants! Public restrooms and/or portable toilets will be available at the Albion Cultural Exchange\, Veterans Field\, and Spaulding Playground. You can also plan ahead to patronize one of the many local restaurants around Wakefield.\n\n\nWant Wakefield Porchfest merchandise? The Albion Cultural Exchange (9 Albion Street) will be the official event headquarters\, offering t-shirts\, coozies\, and stickers for purchase\, as well as free bottled water\, printed schedules\, and public restrooms.  Open from 11 am – 6 pm on the day of the event.\n\nFull Schedule as of September 3\, 2025 (sorted by start time – check wakefieldporchfest.com for latest updates!)
