Hi Neighbors!

Spooky season is officially upon us and we have an awesome tradition to celebrate with: Boo Buddies! 👻

How to play:
🎃 Pick a neighbor (or 2!) to surprise
🎃 Gather some some treats-- candy, decor, anything festive you'd like
🎃 Secretly deliver it to your neighbors doorstep with the "You've been Boo'd!" sign & instructions
🎃 Put the we've been BOO'd sign on your door so you don't get hit twice
🎃 Continue the fun with other neighbors and watch the silly surprises unfold over the month
🎃 Extra credit if you message us a picture to post!

🖤🧡🖤🧡

We’re almost two weeks out from Porchfest 2026! Historic Central Neighborhood, and we’re still soaking in all the feels! 🎶❤️

What. A. Day.

We had an incredible crowd — quite possibly our best turnout yet — beautiful weather, fantastic live music, delicious food and an amazing community filling our streets, sidewalks and porches.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who made it possible:

🎶 Our musicians — thank you for sharing your talent and bringing our porches to life.

🌮 Our food trucks — thank you for keeping everyone fueled while they wandered the neighborhood.

🙌 Our volunteers — from all the behind-the-scenes work to helping things running up to the event and running smoothly throughout the night, we couldn’t do this without you. Thank you for giving your time and energy to make Porchfest happen!

❤️ Our sponsors — your support helps make this community event possible, and we are so grateful for you.

👏 And most importantly, THANK YOU to everyone who came out! Whether you stayed all night, caught a few bands, brought the kids, met up with friends or simply wandered from porch to porch enjoying the music — you are what makes Porchfest so special.

There’s just something pretty magical about seeing our neighborhood filled with music, laughter and people coming together.

Thank you for making Porchfest 2026 one to remember.

We’ll see you next year! 🎶🏡❤️
