Black Rock PorchFest 🎊

2026 BAND / HOST REGISTRATION IS LIVE!

https://porchfest.net/blackrock

This year we will be utilizing a new form for submissions. Below is a preview of what info bands/hosts will need to register:
• Band/musician name
• Band/musician contact name, phone number and email
• Host name, phone number and email
• Host address
• Preferred time slots (one hour slots beginning at 11am and ending at 6pm)

Some other things to note:
• We will be requiring a signed waiver again this year. This will be emailed to the host and must be returned in order to solidify your spot.
• Flexibility is appreciated. The more time slot options you provide the easier it will be for organizers to schedule everyone.

Musicians will be notified of their time slot in July!

Need a porch or a band? We encourage using the Black Rock PorchFest Classifieds page. Due to the volume of inquiries, we are unable to help pair bands with hosts.
