Senoia PorchFest 2023

Outside coolers are not allowed at PorchFest. Food and drinks are available to purchase from the PorchFest vendors.

PorchFest is a hometown neighborhood and community celebration where porches and yards become stages for local and regional bands and musicians. Senoia’s streets become artist galleries and walk-up restaurants

PorchFest Senoia is organized by volunteers and sponsored by the Senoia Downtown Development Authority and local vendors. A list of the sponsors will be available on signage throughout the event, on the Enjoy Senoia website and on the Enjoy Senoia, Georgia Facebook page and on the EnjoySenoia Instagram page.

Neighbors offer their porches or yards, performers and artists volunteer their talents. We pair musicians with porches and yards and artists with street locations. Food trucks and beverage proprietors will provide yummy food and drinks. The Children’s Corner will provide young porchfesters with games and crafts. Music, art, food and drink will be enjoyed between 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM on Sunday, September 3, 2023.

We have bands and solo artists of various genres who will be performing at 20 different venues. Band announcements will be made on https://www.enjoysenoia.com/events/senoia-porchfest-2023 and on the Enjoy Senoia social media.

Anyone and everyone! PorchFest Senoia is family-friendly and features a wide variety of music – so there’s sure to be a band or performance that sparks your interest.

PorchFest is a FREE event for participants. Tips for the musicians are encouraged. Food and drinks will be available to purchase. Artwork from local artisans will be available for sale. Check out one band or twenty! Stay for 20 minutes or all afternoon! VIP experience tickets are $10 each and are available at https://www.enjoysenoia.com/events/senoia-porchfest-2023.

An event map and schedule will be available once the bands and porches have been selected at https://www.enjoysenoia.com/events/senoia-porchfest-2023 and on the Enjoy Senoia social media. We will also have printed maps and maps posted at the major intersections during PorchFest.
