Good luck to Arlington Center for the Arts with Arlington Porchfest today, Saturday, June 15th. The folks from Arlington Porchfest were an invaluable resource when we started asking around how we might put a porchfest on here in Medford.

Folks, we are still as giddy as these two puffy characters from Orbital Gun about the great day last week!

If you attended Medford Porchfest as an audience member (“spectator” sells all your energy short), won’t you please fill out this quick survey?

It really does help us improve this event as we work to make it something sustainable for years to come.

We have accounted for just about all of our yard signs in public places. If you see one in the wild or grabbed one yourself, let us know we missed it and we will come get it!

What an incredible day! In all corners of Medford, you turned out in droves to perform, host, take in the talent and spectacle, and most importantly spend time with your neighbors. Is two years long enough to call this a tradition? If not, well, 2025 is just around the corner.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone that was a part of Medford Porchfest 2024!

A reminder to hosts and performers of what you agreed to when you signed up. This is the #1 issue that makes this day much more complicated than it needs to be.

We love our hosts and performers, but we also love all our neighbors in Medford, which is why we remind folks to keep Porchfest an event that works for everyone.

The best advice we can offer for tomorrow is good advice every day of the year—communicate, be nice, and try to meet one another halfway.

Happy porchfesting!
