It’s that time of year when initial preparations for PorchFest Sebastopol on September 12, 2026 are progressing.

This means we’re looking for sponsors to help us produce this fun community event. We have a few levels at which sponsors can participate. Sponsor a porch! How about sponsoring a band? Even sponsoring the signage is an option. If you or your business is interested or you know of a potential sponsor, reach out using our Sponsor form. We’ll be in touch to discuss details.

Five artists will kick off PorchFest this year promptly at Noon.

Julia Hunt - Campanella Stage

Bohemium Highway - KB Properties Stage by Chimera

Matty Tucker - Solful Stage

Gradina - Taste West County Stage

Revolve - The Judd Patio Stage by School of Rock

We have schedule boards and a mobile schedule so you can keep track of all the artists and stages throughout the day. Have fun. Stay safe. Be kind. Make friends.

The music at "Hardly" PorchFest this year is going to be supported by several local food, wine, and beer merchants.

We have Reggae Rasta Styles serving great Jamaican food and Lucha Sabina offering Oaxaca street food. And to cool you off, we have Kona Ice.

Back for a second year is our friends Old Caz who have donated some of their micro-brews. And joining us this year for the first time is Taste West County who have been so kind to provide us with West County wines Purple Pachyderm, Joseph Jewel, Dutton Estate, and Pellegrini.

While you're enjoying the great music, please take the time to taste some of what our food and beverage partners and volunteers are serving in the south parking lot at the Sebastopol Center for The Arts.

 

"Hardly" PorchFest
September 13th - Noon to 6 PM
Ives Park and Sebastopol Center for The Arts.

For this year's "Hardly" PorchFest, let's reduce the paper needed by tracking the artists' start times and stages in Ives Park and at Sebastopol Center for The Arts using the mobile schedule.

This year we've partnered with the Sebastopol Center for The Arts (SebArts) to be the central hub for PorchFest. SebArts was founded in 1988 and as many of you know, part of it's mission is to "...[cultivate] creativity and [inspire] appreciation for the transformative power of art." It only makes sense that Sebastopol PorchFest and SebArts came together to promote and cultivate this year's lineup of talented acts that will perform across seven stages. Three of those stages are located at SebArts.

In conjunction with PorchFest this year, SebArts opens its Art Trails preview. Starting September 13, some of the work of the ~150 artists who will participate in Art Trails this year will be on display in the galleries at SebArts. Please take some time on PorchFest day to visit the galleries and see the work of these local fine artists.

Update: This performance is located inside at Sebastopol Center for the Arts. Ellie James 7 PM. Flowstone 8 PM.
