Fourth Annual Westhaven Porchfest Coming Soon

Mark your calendar for the return of the 4th Annual Porchfest, an art and music festival unlike any other on Saturday, June 20th, from 4:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. at the Westhaven community in West Franklin.

Porchfest will include over 100 performers from local and regional musical acts, playing on more than 26 porches in the Westhaven community throughout the event.

With the overwhelming success of last year’s event, Porchfest 2015 looks to build and bring more musical acts from all genres of music back this year.  The entire event is family friendly, open to the public and FREE of charge.

A simple concept – invite the musicians and provide them their stages on resident’s front porches.  Bands and acoustic singers will showcase their talent during Porchfest, for no other reason than to engage the community.  Residents volunteer their porches as a way to support the local music scene and interact with the neighbors of the community.

Performances will begin at 4:00 p.m., and this year’s media sponsor, Lighting 100, will be onsite broadcasting live from Westhaven’s Town Center from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Boy Named Banjo and Tim Akers And The Smoking Section will close out the evening with a lakeside concert beginning at 7:00 p.m.

Returning for a second year, a visual artist showcase has been included in the line-up to give concert-goers more options to enjoy during this family friendly, free outdoor event.  Photographers, jewelers, and other visual artists will showcase and ell their designs in the Westhaven Town Center throughout the event.

There will also be plenty to eat and drink throughout the event, with multiple food vendors on hand, both at the Town Center as well as the Residents Club, including;

  • Delta Bound
  • Crankee’s Pizza
  • Hoss’ Loaded Burgers
  • The Grilled Cheeserie
