So you want to perform at PorchFest on September 20, 2026/Raindate September 27? Keep reading!

Unlike most other PorchFests, Bristol PorchFest is a small, curated event (approximately 25 sets). Each year we aim to welcome back previous performers (numbering over 70 different acts cumulatively). We are also committed to introducing new acts every year. In addition to these criteria we aim to maintain a mix of genres, ages, group size, hometowns, and other factors.

Needless to say, this process gets more competitive each year.
To be considered, click on the link below to submit your act. Deadline to apply is April 15th.

Final decisions are made by early June. We are excited to put together a fabulous fest!
