Dayton Porchfest was founded in 2017, inspired by the original Porchfest, which was started in 2007 in Ithaca, NY. Today there over 150 Porchfests throughout the United States and Canada. Dayton was 94! You’ll now also find Porchfests in Troy (Sept 10) and Yellow Spring (Sept 16).
Dayton has a rich musical history and active music scene, which continues today. Dayton Porchfest is committed to reflecting that in its selection of musical artists, from funk and blues to indie rock and jazz, classical and country.
