Carmel's PorchFest

Carmel PorchFest is a free, family-friendly music festival featuring nearly 60 bands performing on about 20 neighborhood porches. Musical styles range from acoustic and solo performances to full electric ensembles, with a variety of genres represented throughout the day.

Visitors can stroll through the neighborhood, stop at different porches to hear local musicians and enjoy the relaxed community atmosphere. Food and beverage vendors will also be available throughout the festival, making it easy to grab something to eat or drink between performances.

The event brings together local bands, homeowners, volunteers and thousands of visitors for an afternoon of live music in Carmel’s Arts & Design District.
