Porch Fest is an afternoon of live music performed on porches, driveways, and front lawns throughout the center of Long Beach. It is a family-friendly way to enjoy live music outdoors, while supporting the arts in Long Beach and engaging with your neighbors and the community.

This event is produced by the Long Beach Arts Council, with support from the City of Long Beach and our fiscal partner Long Beach Reach.
