PorchFest 2026
TBD

Rochester Performance & Arts Center presents PorchFest, a FREE outdoor music festival featuring more than 30 bands of all genres. Bands are placed on outdoor stages throughout downtown, allowing attendees to stroll through the district and hear a little of everything. Donations and proceeds from the event support music education.
While PorchFest is produced by Rochester Performance & Arts Center, Rochester Main Street is proud to partner on this event by providing logistical and behind-the-scenes support. This includes assisting with permits, insurance, and coordination to help ensure the festival can take place safely and successfully in the downtown district.
