Reading PorchFest

What a great day for a PorchFest or two.

We had the pleasure of seeing several live performances today at Wakefield Porchfest and Stoneham PorchFest. We saw some familiar faces: Side Project, Nick LaFauci, Late For Pickup, Jerry Sancinito, John Kessaris, Double Vision, The Reid's Bluegrass, and some new to us: Dennis McCarthy, the Bumpin Uglies, Jeff Bellin.
Here's a snippet of our travels today for your entertainment. Kudos and Thanks to the committees from both towns. We are lucky to have such great neighbors and such great local talent.

Greetings Reading PorchFest fans: You are in for a treat this weekend because you can check out our neighbors: Stoneham PorchFest and Wakefield Porchfest on Saturday, August 29th. Both towns have fabulous line-ups of musical entertainment from noon til 7 in and noon til 6.

You might even recognize some of the very acts we hosted in Reading this past June.

We plan to split our time between the two towns as we were able to easily do last year. Check out their schedules and maps at their sites. If you see/hear a band you think you'd like to see at next year's Reading PorchFest on June 26, 2027, pass along their name to us and mention us to them, or better yet, make a plan to host them at your place.

We're really excited about tonight's Town of Reading, MA Summer Concert at Memorial Park. We have had the pleasure of hosting this band at Reading PorchFest in the past. They were not able to make it this year and we soooooo missed them. So we were thrilled to see them in the schedule for the Summer Concert Series.

Do yourself a favor and get to the park tonight. It is sure to be a great show. Bring a chair and a snack. If you want a sample of what you can expect, here's a link to RCTV's coverage of Alice and the Groove Diggers at Reading PorchFest 2025.https://youtu.be/NlDNNEQzkMA?si=vxwkrVppjq6efYLB

Tonight! Come out to Memorial Park at Charles and Harrison Streets to hear Reading Community Concert Band. You may have caught their Reading PorchFest performance a couple of weeks ago and want more. Now is your chance. Bring a chair or blanket and enjoy the show. It's Free!
