Princeton Porchfest 2026

Saturday September 26, 2026
12:00 PM - 6:00 PM

We’re excited to bring Porchfest into a new season: Let’s celebrate five years of Porchfest together! Starting at noon, multiple porches around town – generously lent by neighbors – will host sets of live music throughout the day. Most porches feature five sets each. A new act takes the stage on the hour, every hour, from 12-6pm. Bring a chair and make yourself comfortable at one location, or wear your walking shoes and bop around from porch to porch. From classic rock and bluegrass, to jazz, singer-songwriter, blues, hip-hop, and classical, there’s something for everyone at Porchfest. Stroll around town to hear live local talent, grab a bite, drink, or coffee from one of Princeton’s amazing small businesses, and take in all the joyful energy that has made Porchfest a community tradition.
