Hull Porchfest 2026

What’s Hull PorchFest?

Hull PorchFest is a free, one-day music festival featuring dozens of local bands and musicians who volunteer their time and talent to play on the porches, driveways, and front yards of people who generously turn their space into stages for the event. All are welcome – bring the kids, bring your dog, bring a beach chair if you like! But please remember to be respectful of our porch hosts and their space, and to take any trash with you.

When and where is it happening?

PorchFest happens on Saturday, September 19, 2026 from 1pm to 6pm in the Kenberma neighborhood of Hull.
