Step into the lively streets of Poughkeepsie on a Sunday afternoon, and you’ll be greeted by the delightful sound of music. Poughkeepsie PorchFest, now in its fourth year, brought together over 30 talented musicians who performed on 23 beautiful porches in the city’s historic Southside District. This community event, which started in 2020 as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, allowed musicians to showcase their talent and connect with fans in a safe environment.
From its humble beginnings with just 12 homeowners offering their porches and power, Poughkeepsie PorchFest has grown into a beloved tradition. It has not only provided a platform for struggling musicians to share their music but has also fostered a sense of community among participants. As revelers lined the streets and grass, they enjoyed the soulful tunes of musicians like Faezon and Ame, who performed on the porches of Academy Street.
Poughkeepsie PorchFest wasn’t just about the music, though. Families enjoyed various activities, including a giant chess game organized by the Crossroads Chess Community and the Roving Rover library from the Poughkeepsie Public Library. Food vendors delighted attendees with tasty treats, and Hudson River Housing offered T-shirts and tote bags for purchase, giving people a chance to bring home a piece of the festival.
The atmosphere was electric as people walked from porch to porch, immersing themselves in the rhythmic melodies of artists like Krista Libertino McGuire. Poughkeepsie PorchFest truly captured the essence of community, bringing together musicians, locals, and visitors to celebrate the power of music.
