2026 WEST CHESTER PORCHFEST SIGN UP

Thank you for your interest in the 2026 West Chester Green Team Porchfest! We are so lucky to have so many amazing performers that want to share their talent with their neighbors and friends. Sign up and we will find you the right porch to share your talent.

For year five, Sign Up will be from March 1-April 1, 2026. All additional sign-ups, after April 1, 2026, will be placed on a wait list (there will be cancellations) so don’t hesitate.

Porchfest was amazing last year, with a huge turnout, and we are hoping with your help, for the same this year.

An email will be sent confirming your submission within one week upon receipt.
Once all submissions are received, we will begin the process of matching porches and acts. When this process is complete you will receive an email with the draft/preliminary schedule for Porchfest. Please be patient as the matching process takes time. You will have one week to request any changes to the draft schedule.

WC PORCHFEST PERFORMER GUIDELINES

We are grateful and excited to have you be a part of Porchfest!!

The following guidelines are necessary for West Chester Porchfest to be enjoyable for all! Thank you!

PORCHFEST IS FAMILY FRIENDLY. A 5 year old is listening and asking questions…

Be mindful of the 45 minute set times.

Please bring your own sound/equipment needs. The host home is only required to provide the electricity and space needed for your performance.

PORCHFEST IS A LOW VOLUME EVENT. Another band will be performing a few doors down at the same time as you. Be courteous to other performers playing simultaneously around you.

Please bring a tip jar and merchandise and display it proudly!
