For the past 15 years, Belleville has hosted an all out community party known as Porchfest.
If you are not privy to what Porchfest is, here’s the Coles notes: An event that brings local musicians together playing whatever their jam is on neighborhood porches. The community wanders around and gets to listen to the music ranging from rock, pop, country, blues you name it!
It’s kinda like Halloween for grownups- we wander from house to house and enjoy the offerings. Occasionally there is uh…. “Refreshments” and snacks to enjoy!
Porchfest 2024 had over 60 bands and/or musicians. That’s a lot of musical porches!
Along with people there were lots of dogs: big, little, fluffy, old, tired but all of them had their tails wagging and their tongues lolling.
This year my old Dad got in the action and sang with an A Capella group. Look at those nice matching blue shirts!
Porchfest has become one of the most anticipated events each September. I love the sense of community and connection it brings.
Besides, how can you go wrong with good music, good community fun and lots of happy dogs?
Great Day
