Saturday, Sept 13, 2025 Porchfest Benicia VIP tickets & “Sip Stops” Keep the Music Playing. 10,000 People Expected for FREE Music Fest.
The good folks at Benicia Magazine built it, and indeed, the people came, saw, and danced in the streets. Following the overwhelming success of last year’s Porchfest Benicia (www.porchfest–benicia.com), this year’s event on Saturday, September 13 (12pm – 5pm) features expanded VIP ticket packages and Sip Stops—two essential ways the public can support the free community festival while also enjoying premium perks.
“Porchfest Benicia is free to attend, but it isn’t free to produce,” said Mary Hand, Publisher of Benicia Magazine and creative force behind the festival. “Our VIP tickets and Sip Stops are how we keep the music playing. Every glass poured and every ticket purchased directly supports the artists and makes this magical day possible. Plus, it’s fun! Who doesn’t love a refreshing sip between songs?”
VIP tickets include access to exclusive performances, reserved seating at select venues, and special opportunities to meet headline artists, including the historic Sly & the Family Stone tribute at Lucca Beer Garden.
For those who prefer to roam, Porchfest’s Sip Stops will once again dot downtown Benicia, offering craft beer, and wine tastings in partnership with local businesses and community sponsors.
Last year, Porchfest attracted more than 10,000 visitors, packing the waterfront streets of historic downtown Benicia. Organizers emphasize that VIP ticket sales and Sip Stop revenues are critical to paying artists fairly, expanding kid-friendly programming, and sustaining Porchfest as an annual tradition.
