PorchFests are free music events held across the United States and in Canada on front porches. Started in Ithaca, New York in 2007, PorchFest events bring local musicians and neighborhoods together to celebrate and create a sense of community.
In 2016, Walter Hubley and Ian Cain started PorchFest Quincy with a crew of amazing volunteers and created a wonderful day of music and fun featuring 70 bands at 43 porch locations, with an estimated 6,000 people turnout.
