Click <a href="https://www.fenwayporchfest.org/signup/help/" target="_blank">here</a> to learn more about volunteering. Check back soon to see the location and performer list! This year, Porchfest is a collaboration between the <a href="https://www.fenwaycdc.org/" target="_blank">Fenway Community Development Organization</a> and the <a href="https://fenwaycommunitycenter.org/" target="_blank">Fenway Community Center</a> as the organizing partners. <a href="https://www.fenwayporchfest.org/map/#schedule" target="_blank">See full schedule here</a>. Fenway Porchfest was founded in 2018 as a collaborative partnership among three Fenway organizations - Fenway Community Development Organization, Fenway Civic Association, and the Fenway Alliance. In June 2019, Fenway Porchfest hosted 36 locations throughout Fenway and over 85 performers! Due to the Covid pandemic, a music video celebrating the Fenway was organized in 2020 in lieu of an in-person event. Porchfest returned in 2022. Note: this is a FUN and FREE event!
