Postponed: Adams Morgan PorchFest - new date October 24th!

1) Adams Morgan Porch Fest - Postponed to October 24th

We’re on our third year of Adams Morgan PorchFest — a celebration of the

deep musical talent that exists in the DC metro area. Last year 40+ musicians/

bands participated including members of the National Symphony Orchestra.

We transformed the front porches, patios and stoops of Adams Morgan

homes and businesses into “stages for a day” where local talent could be

heard by all for free.

It was a ton of fun, thanks to many of you, with dozens

of local music acts playing about at a dozen locations in Adams Morgan.

Neighbors gathered, kids danced, and the streets came alive thanks to the

generosity of musicians sharing their art.

Unfortunately, the weather is not coooperating this weekend and we have

decided to postpone it to Saturday October 24th from 2pm-6pm (an hour earlier

because it gets dark earlier then). This will follow the Adams Morgan Apple

Festival and apple pie contest that morning at the Farmer's Market.

From famous jazz legends like Charlie Byrd and Keter Betts to homegrown soul acts like Father’s

Children, Adams Morgan has a rich music tradition that PorchFest hopes to

continue.

We will need more musicians because of the postponement so please help us

spread the word about Adams Morgan PorchFest. We’d like to grow this

bigger and better each year. We do still need volunteers to staff each of the

porches. Cultural Tourism DC helps us recruit volunteers. Please visit them

here to sign up to be a volunteer:

We'll have an after party that evening for poch hosts, musicians and

volunteers.

Thanks!
