Well, WOW. The first Montpelier Porchfest went beyond our expectations.Â
Thank you to the amazingly generous hosts, unflappable musicians, joyful community, determined travelers, supportive media and community partners, our funder, Vermont Community Foundation, the smiling volunteers, friends, family, and supporters near and far! Â
An event first is always a little nerve-racking, and with the cold, rainy forecast on every weather app we could get our hands on, this event was no exception. But the RAIN OR SHINE turned into RAIN AND SHINE, and this little city was shining from one end to the other.
Please pop over to 2026 LOOK BACK for pics & videos of the day, and to fill out the community survey; that will help make Montpelier Porchfest 2.0 even better. AND, If you wanna help make next year happen, with your time, SIGN UP HERE to stay in touch and help in early 2027, or with you money, buy a 2026 Montpelier Porchfest Rain or Shine T to support 2027 Montpelier Porchfest!Â
Montpelier's First Porchfest was Sunday, 9.20.26
