STOP!

Registration is CLOSED unless you’ve pre-arranged when and where you’re playing with a host. Times must be cleared with Kenmore Porchfest (to avoid conflicts).

If you already talked with a host, you may still sign up (your host must sign up, too!). If there’s a problem with your set time, we’ll reach out.

Bands or solo artists can sign up to play during Porchfest (Sunday, June 22, 2025). Simply fill out the form below and we'll be in touch.

Don't have a porch? No problem! We'll match you with a host so you can still be part of the fun.
Kenmore Porchfest is all about community. You'll be performing in a residential neighborhood, so please keep volumes acoustic-friendly - even if you're using amps.
Each set is one hour long, and we'll take care of the scheduling (unless you know your host, then we'll work with them to get your schedule). That means no special time slot requests - we need everyone to be flexible and available throughout the day.
Rain or shine, the show goes on! Hosts will give you cover from rain or the sun beating down but if you're not comfortable performing in less-than-perfect weather, please think twice before registering.
Hosts provide shelter from the elements and basic electricity—that's it. Performers must bring all of their own equipment.
Performers are encouraged to sell merch and put out a tip jar!

Kenmore Porchfest is in Kenmore, NEW YORK. Just outside of Buffalo.
