Music-Filled PorchFest Returns To Gilroy This Weekend

GILROY, CA — Porchfest Gilroy, an event where musicians perform on neighborhood porches, is back in town this Saturday.

In its seventh year, the event is free and billed as family-friendly. It is one of 40 Porchfests in North America and features local musical talent “of all styles,” according to the event website.

The event aims to recognize the “unheard musicians in South County.” People are encouraged to bring along a folding chair or blanket and walk from porch to porch, taking in the different performances.

Those driving to the event can park on 6th Street, at City Hall, or at the corner of 7th Street and Rosanna Street. No parking is available on the streets where performances will take place.

The performances will take place from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Hanna Street.
