Santa Cruz Porchfest is a free, all-ages community music event that turns porches throughout downtown Santa Cruz into performance stages. Attendees can walk between locations to hear local artists across genres including folk, jazz, bluegrass, rock, hip-hop, salsa, and more, with printed maps and schedules available at each porch stage.

There’s 14 different venues and 50+ free concerts from Noon to 6pm including an after-party at Abbott Square (6:30p to 10p) features the Henry Warde Band and JAM and the Buttered Biscuits.

Original Event Description:
_The time has come!! The lineup for the first ever Santa Cruz Porchfest is here! The full schedule is on our website and we will be posting about specific porch stages in the coming days. PLUS, we will have printed flyers with maps and schedules available at all porch stages on event day.
