Porchfest and WSKG Public Media are excited to announce a partnership aimed at enhancing fundraising and volunteer engagement efforts! As Tompkins County’s NPR and PBS station, WSKG is thrilled to support our amazing community event. WSKG will help amplify Porchfest’s calls for donations and volunteers to make the event possible, and will be on-site at Porchfest at our information tent and presenting their own porch with multiple performers.

Porchfest is made possible in part by a grant from the Tompkins County Tourism Program and fees from our vendors — that gets us a little more than halfway toward covering expenses. The rest of our budget comes from donations from you, the community that loves Porchfest and wants it to keep happening. Now is a great time to throw a few bucks in the hat, if you’re able!
It takes dozens of volunteers to make Porchfest happen safely. Most of those volunteers are stationed where we have streets closed, to help make sure cars don’t come through and to help escort residents’ vehicles in or out of closed areas. Volunteer shifts are just two hours, so you can help out and still have plenty of time to see (or play) music! Sign up here:
Performer applications are open through August 23! If you’d like to play Porchfest, all are welcome – just find yourself a place in the neighborhood to play, and sign up here:
