Cranford Streets Turning Into Neighborhood Concert With 9th Annual 'Porchfest'

CRANFORD, NJ — The streets will be filled with dancing this weekend as Cranford transforms into a neighborhood-wide music festival.

The Cranford Porchfest is a collection of performances by bands and musicians put on at private homes and organized together into one walkable event. The 9th annual edition is being held on Saturday from 1:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Residents volunteer their porches to host four, 45-minute family-friendly acts. Organizers, performers, hosts, and all others give their time as volunteers as part of an initiative started in 2017 to showcase Cranford and give neighbors a chance to connect.

While there will be no food and drink specifically sold on any of the sites, guests are welcome to bring their own items from home or a local restaurant.

In the event of detrimental weather, a rain date is scheduled for Oct. 18.
