Sponsor Our ArticlesConway Downtown Alive is organizing the Porchfest event set for February 15, 2026. This community music festival will feature around 50 local bands performing on porches across downtown. Inspired by similar festivals, Porchfest aims to unite residents through music, celebrating local talent in a festive atmosphere. Attendees can expect diversity in performances, with musicians volunteering their time to contribute to this grassroots event, promising joy and connection among neighbors.
Get ready, Conway! The city is buzzing with excitement as Conway Downtown Alive (CDA), a local nonprofit dedicated to showcasing the charm and spirit of our community, is in the early stages of planning a lively Porchfest event. Mark your calendars for February 15, 2026, because that’s when Conway’s streets will come alive with the sound of music, community, and good vibes!
If you’re wondering what Porchfest is, you’re not alone! This delightful community music festival has its roots in the late 2000s and has taken off in neighborhoods and downtown areas across the U.S. and Canada. The basic premise? Local residents open up their porches and transform them into intimate stages for an array of talented musicians and bands. Imagine your neighbor jamming out while you enjoy a cold drink on a sunny afternoon!
The spark for this exciting event in Conway came from a recent trip to Brunswick, Georgia, where the Porchfest covers nearly nine city blocks and attracts about 10,000 people each year. This vibrant festival, which began in 2018, has shown impressive growth and has become a beloved tradition for the town. Through this visit, the vision for Conway’s Porchfest started to take shape.
What’s the best part about Porchfest? The variety! In Brunswick, there are all sorts of musical acts, from high school marching bands and garage bands to church choirs. This eclectic mix of performers contributes to the festival’s inclusive spirit, and Conway is eager to embrace that same diversity. The goal is to feature around 50 local bands across 20 to 30 porches on Elm Street, Laurel Street, and 5th Avenue!
Porchfest isn’t just about music; it’s about community and collaboration. The musicians who perform are not paid, so most of the artists are local talent volunteering their time and skills to put on a great show for their friends and neighbors. This kind of grassroots involvement really embodies the spirit of Conway, bringing people together to celebrate local talent.
As the planning moves forward, CDA is facing some logistical challenges. One of the main goals is to ensure that the performances are well-coordinated so that you can enjoy a variety of tunes without overwhelming noise or sound clashes between similar genres. The team is considering using a special app to help schedule performances, similar to what’s been done in Brunswick, making it easier for both performers and audience members to know where the action is happening.
Mark your calendars for the Porchfest event happening from noon to 5 p.m. on the Sunday following Valentine’s Day. It’s going to be a day filled with music, joy, and connection with our neighbors. Whether you’re a performer, a volunteer, or just someone looking to enjoy great live music, the Porchfest promises to be an unforgettable day!
Stay tuned for more details and get ready to embrace the spirit of Conway as the countdown to Porchfest 2026 begins!
