Cambridgeport will be the pilot site for the first-ever Cambridge PorchFest on Saturday, July 19 from 12-6pm.  As you probably know, PorchFest is a free, walkable, musical, community DIY event: local residents host talented local performers on their porches (or patios, or backyards, or whatever), and attendees enjoy the music and the neighborhood. The Cambridgeport Neighborhood Association has received a grant from the Cambridge Arts Council to support this pilot, inaugural fest.  

 

Better still, this will be a two-day celebration of music, community, and neighborhood vibes as the Central Square Business Improvement District will host 

a second day of music on Sunday, July 20, from 12-6pm, bringing live music to outdoor dining and gathering spaces in Central Square.  

 

Learn more about the full weekend on the City of Cambridge website. 

This will be a summer weekend worth sticking around for, and we hope it begins an annual tradition that eventually spans Cambridge. 

 

Please note: Cambridge PorchFest will happen on July 19, rain or shine.
