Bristol PorchFest
, with RWU as a community partner, is excited to present the annual Bristol PorchFest
Sunday, September 15, 3–6 PM
Rain date Sunday, September 22
Historic High Street from Walley to Byfield
22 Bands, 12 Porches
Bristol PorchFest 2024 will feature 12 porches and at least 22 bands — duos, trios, and groups — performing to entertain porch hosts and strolling spectators to celebrate music and community in this free, fun, family-friendly event.
Organizers have worked with police and have Town Council approval to close High Street from Walley to Byfield streets to help make the 3-hour event safe — police will stop traffic and patrol intersections Sunday afternoon from 2:45 PM until 6:15 PM. Also, like last year, a parking ban will be on High Street Sunday afternoon, the event day.
Audiences are asked to respect private property and keep trash with them.
“The University is thrilled to once again partner with and support the PorchFest organization as they provide a venue for talented local bands and Bristol community members to celebrate music together,” said Ioannis Miaoulis, President of 鶹ýAV University.
