Salem Porchfest is a free, community-powered music festival where neighborhood porches become stages. This year, the event is taking place primarily in South Salem off of Forest Ave on August 9th between 12 noon and 8 pm, with locations across South Salem. We need funds for equipment, printing, banners, volunteer needs, rental equipment, and so much more to make this event possible.

These funds will assist in making Salem's first Porchfest a safe, unique, vibrant, and community-building event. Your support helps us bring live music back to Salem and supports our local music scene. With your help, we can create an unforgettable experience for neighbors, musicians, and visitors alike.

Salem Porchfest is the only community-organized city Porchfest in Massachusetts. A group of roughly 30 locals are putting together a porchfest for our neighborhood and community. Salem used to have a number of live music venues, but those venues no longer exist. Salem Porchfest is bringing live music back to Salem, led by the neighborhood! We invite you to join us in making this event a reality and thank you for supporting local artists and our community.
