Swampscott Porch Fest Kicks Off With Linscott Park Party

SWAMPSCOTT, MA — A full day of music and family-friendly events is planned as part of Swampscott Porch Fest 2025.

The event is set for noon to 6 p.m. on Sept. 20 with a rain date of Sept. 21.

The program kicks off with a party at Linscott Park and includes musicians on lawns and porches across the town. There will also be a family-friendly show on the Town Hall lawn from 1 to 4 p.m. featuring a pirate-themed program from 1 to 4 p.m.

Musicians signed up for this year's event run the gamut from rock, country, blues, bluegrass, ukulele, indie singers and singer-songwriters.

Grab the Bagel will place lemonade stands at various porches and high traffic areas, with all the money raised from lemonade, bagel sales and donations going to the families of 27 campers lost in the recent Texas flooding.
