NAPA, CA — Summertime in Napa means it's Porchfest time! The free one-day event was once again held the last Sunday of July, showcasing Napa musicians on the porches of some of Napa's finest historic homes in the neighborhoods near Fuller Park in Old Town Napa.

With the streets closed off, thousands of guests swarmed Old Town to watch some 150 local bands perform throughout the picture-perfect day.

Guests meandered from porch to porch, taking in the sounds of live music while snacking on food truck fare and catching up with friends and neighbors.

During Napa PorchFest on Sunday, July 30, Mallory, 10, and her brother, Otto, 7, took advantage of lots of thirsty people walking the neighborhood streets of Old Town Napa by selling ice-cold lemonade. Their mother, Jeanne Mophriant, said it was her children's idea to hold the drink stand. (Photo by Al Francis/Napasonomaphotos.com)
