Honored to be the subject of Rumford Junction’s newest song by Tim Messitt. A whole song!

Although we have gotten a shout out in an Andre Arsenault song in the past as well. What other Porch Fest can claim that?

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Feeling melancholy this weekend, but looking back and ahead to more joyous times.

The PorchFest Planning Committee (including our music advisors) have made the difficult decision to cancel this year's PorchFest. We are dismayed, heartbroken, saddened and disappointed.

See you next year!

Our revised line up for Bristol PorchFest Rain Date, 9/27.

Every cloud has a silver lining. Including the clouds that hung over Bristol yesterday. Bristol PorchFest 2026 lost a few acts for our rain date, but we gained one too! Introducing Olivia Dolphin to our PorchFest community.

Olivia brings her witch pop sound from Providence, RI — piano-driven, lyric-forward, and laced with 90s alt-rock energy. Olivia writes about relationships and self-reflection with a community-first spirit, treating every live set like a ritual for spell casting and magic making.

September 27, 3-6 pm High Street Bristol

We can’t think of a better way to open Bristol Porchfest and celebrate America’s 250th Birthday than with an opening ceremony at 2:50 at 142 High Street. Join the Mt. Hope Music Vocal Ensemble in a singalong of America the Beautiful. Thank you to the Bristol 250 Commission for sponsoring us.
