Sandwich Arts Alliance:  Fall for the Arts in Sandwich

NEW DATE!  Due to the weather, Porchfest has moved to Monday, Columbus Day. 

PORCHFEST - 
Monday, October 10, 2016    2 - 4 p.m.

WHERE: Area businesses and historic homes along Main, Jarves, School and Summer Streets

Maps will be available online and at each porch during the stroll from 2-4 pm.
In the event of rain, Monday Oct. 10th 
(Columbus Day) will be the rain date at the same time. 
​

On Sunday afternoon October 9th, from 2-4 pm, we will host our first annual Porchfest as part of our Fall for the Arts program. Enjoy a pleasant afternoon sauntering with your friends and family through Sandwich Village while listening to a variety of musicians performing along the way. It might be reggae, blues, jazz, pop -- all genres are welcome here.

Sandwich's first-ever Porchfest is free, and will include musical artists such as singer/songwriters, duos, small groups, guitarists, and other instrumentalists playing from porches in front of 10 area businesses and historic homes along Main, Jarves, School and Summer Streets. In keeping with the national "Porchfest" movement, which supposedly started in 2007 in Ithaca, NY, a map will guide listeners along a looping route that will not include microphones or amplification. Similar events have or will occur through the year in about 6 towns in Massachusetts, including the one just held in Wellfleet at the end of August. The emphasis is on unamplified, acoustic music and on building community.
