Porchfest Launches Application Process for Hosts, Musicians and Volunteers

BY BRITTANY DANIELLE for WEEKLY VOLCANO 5/15/26 |

Tacoma Porchfest is seeking porch hosts, musicians, and volunteers for upcoming events. The community music festival turns residential neighborhoods into free, walkable music venues, with local musicians performing on front porches throughout participating neighborhoods.

The event brings together a wide range of performers, including folk artists, punk bands, jazz groups, indie musicians, DJs, and singer-songwriters. Audiences move from house to house throughout the day, creating a neighborhood atmosphere that connects residents, musicians, and local businesses.

For musicians, Porchfest offers a chance to perform for new audiences outside traditional bars and venues. For hosts, volunteering a porch provides a direct way to support local music and help create a welcoming event for the neighborhood.


Apply now to volunteer, host a porch, or be a musician at tacomaporchfest.org.
