PorchFest is a FREE outdoor music festival featuring over 50 local bands, duos and solo artists performing on more than 20 stages throughout downtown Rochester. These incredible musicians have donated their time & talents to help us raise money for the RPAC Scholorship Fund, helping youth and teens in our community to connect with their visual, musical and performing arts talents! Your purchase of a wristband or donation goes directly to help a student in need. Check out the bands, and all the other great stuff too!
