30 BANDS ON 30 PORCHES
To our fellow community members and festival fans in Cleveland and beyond:
Thank you for your continued support of Larchmere PorchFest during what has been a most unprecedented year. As we approach Father’s Day weekend and what would have been our 13th annual event, we felt the need to formally announce that Larchmere PorchFest will not take place during the summer of 2021 in its traditional format.
But rest assured, we are committed to bringing music back to Larchmere and the surrounding community in a safe, mindful, and resident-focused way. Our small but mighty team of dedicated volunteers has been working around the clock with neighbors, partners, and local artists to do exactly that. We encourage you to keep an eye on our social media channels for further details and announcements once they become available. In the meantime, we will be amplifying other wonderful arts and culture events taking place throughout the summer that you should have on your radar.
Finally, if you have an interest in joining our volunteer board or one of our planning committees to help shape the future of Larchmere PorchFest, please email larchmereporchfest@gmail.com. We are always looking for passionate community members and music lovers to join our team and would welcome you with open arms. Thank you again, Cleveland, for your continued support over the last 13 years. We look forward to seeing you soon.
In PorchFest Pride,
The Larchmere PorchFest Board of Directors
Attending PorchFest
Who Should Come? Everyone! PorchFest is a family-friendly event open to the community featuring musicians from a wide variety of genres. There’s something for everyone, including activities for kids.
What to Bring? You’ll be “camping out” in neighborhood front lawns for 30-40 minutes at a time, so bring chairs or a blanket to sit on. If you want to see as many bands as possible, a bike is a great idea.
What to Eat & Drink? Larchmere Blvd. and Shaker Square have many restaurants to choose from. There will also be vendors and a food court for additional food options. You’re welcome to bring food, but please pick up any trash you may create.
Where to Go for Info? Be sure to pick up a printed schedule and map for the day, buy t-shirts and learn about the neighborhood at our info tent located at the corner of E 127th Street and Larchmere. Restrooms available here.
Volunteer at PorchFest
How can I help? PorchFest would love for you to get involved! You can sign up to volunteer the day of the event or help plan the event by joining a committee.
Perform at PorchFest
Can I play at Larchmere PorchFest? PorchFest is run by volunteers and we consider as many bands as we are capable of reviewing.

Please Be Respectful
We ask that all who attend PorchFest are respectful to one another.
