Maplewood Porchfest to return Labor Day Weekend

Welcome, summer! Here's something to look forward to on the other end... Our 2nd Annual Maplewood Porchfest will be held on Labor Day Sunday September 2, rain date Monday September 3 from 1-5pm. Join us for music and entertainment on porches all over the Hilton neighborhood. Please save the date - it won't be the same without you : )  Visit our FB page @  Maplewood Porchfest for more info and updates (including forms for interested bands/performers and porch owners)- watch this space on MOL too! 

This was a wonderful event last year!   So glad it’s coming back!  

Great event and opportunity to meet more neighbors. Can't wait!

Maplewood Porchfest has started a Gofundme fundraiser to cover a lot of the costs associated with the event. Here is the link:

Thanks Jamie for pinning this post.

Thank you to everyone involved in planning and performing Porch Fest.  It was a wonderful afternoon filled with music.  Hope there will be a third annual Porch Fest next year.

Thanks to the organizers and performers.  It was a great afternoon to be outside and hearing some wonderful music.

thanks so much to the organizers, the hosts, and to all the people who came out. What a great event this has turned into in only it's second year. 

Congratulations to everyone involved in creating this event!

That was great! Watched the whole Amish Internet set, who are awesome. So many other cool bands out there, too. We have so much talent in these towns.

It's been a privilege and pleasure to bring you Maplewood Porchfest once again this year. We are indeed a special community, and it enjoyed some of its brightest hours yesterday afternoon with friends and families walking, talking, and loving the music on the streets of our Hilton neighborhood. Thanks once again to the porches, bands, volunteers, supporters, and audience members. Please take 2 minutes to fill out this survey; it's never too early to start planning next year's event. : )

Great job publicizing the event this year.  We were a little concerned that very few people would come to the venue we played.  We were literally playing on the Maplewood-Union border (and I do mean literally, not figuratively.  The line went through the driveway where we were standing.)  Even though we were on the edge of the action compared to where the other locations were, there was a very nice sized audience.  We had a great time and we'd play again any time.  (let's just hope it won't be as humid next time    )
