Established in 2014, Jamaica Plain Porchfest is a community-run festival with an expansive understanding and appreciation of the arts. Each year, the festival offers a wide array of performances that include music, storytelling, dance, and more. Taking place on porches, green spaces, and community hubs within the neighborhood, the festival also provides an exploratory spatial experience of Jamaica Plain.
Porchfest creates a space for a diverse community of cultural workers, neighbors, and art enthusiasts to come together – regardless of the categories that aim to keep us separate such as race, class, gender, and ethnicity.
