Cambridge Porchfest is a free, walkable, community musical event. Neighbors host musicians on their porches, in their yards or driveways, with the idea that anyone can come by and check them out. A lot of nearby towns host porchfests - Somerville, Brookline, Jamaica Plain, Watertown, and others. In 2025, Cambridge launched its first Porchfest in the Cambridgeport neighborhood just south of Central Square. There were more than 80 performers at 25 locations. (Reminisce about the inaugural 2025 Porchfest lineup at the bottom of this page.)
