Arts in Common presents 

Bristol PorchFest

10 Porches

20 Bands

Bristol PorchFest is back, bigger and better than ever. Returning September 17, PorchFest 2023 will feature more music and more variety, performing to entertain porch hosts and strolling spectators in celebration of music and community. This free, fun, family-friendly event is located on lower High Street, Bristol RI.

PorchFest will feature returning performers such as Paula Clare, Los Duderinos, Catnip Junkies and more. And look for new-to-PorchFest acts--Turas, The Digg It Band, Cardboard Ox and Dred Buffalo, to name a few. 

First up, we are bringing back Paula Clare (@paulaclaremusic) and her band!

When she takes the stage to sing, this dynamic entertainer's unique appeal and boundless energy creates a non-stop, warm, spellbinding, positive atmosphere.

WIth a voice that delivers as she struts in her hat and heels, you won't soon forget Paula Clare.

Bringing back The Honk , a Rhode Island based quintet who perform original instrumental and lyric music. Americana Jazz, Country and Folk Ballads, Blues and Funk. They dazzled us last year on guitar, mandolin, bass, percussion, viola and violin and warmed by their engaging banter.

We are excited to introduce Turas to PorchFest. 

Date: September 17, 2023, 3-6pm
