About
Porches become stages, yards become venues & neighbors gather together
Saranac Lake PorchFest is a community-wide music festival where porches become stages, yards become venues, and neighbors gather together!
Perhaps you’ve sat on your porch and overheard a neighbor strumming guitar on another porch. PorchFest takes this idea and multiplies it! It’s a free, family-friendly, community event where Saranac Lake residents and visitors share their love of playing and listening to music.
Stop in Berkeley Green and pick up a map and schedule to guide your PorchFest experience. Bands will be playing at a variety of homes and businesses throughout the Saranac Lake community, so wander from host to host and discover the wide array of talent our region has to offer!
