PorchFest is organized by the Lakeview Roscoe Village Chamber of Commerce and features local musicians performing on front porches within our neighborhood boundaries throughout the afternoon. PorchJams Series is a series of concerts taking place on a different porch each week in Lakeview or Roscoe Village with two local musicians performing at each concert. Below are the dates and locations for the two PorchFest events and the PorchJams Series in our neighborhoods.

Please fill out the form below to submit your band to perform at PorchFest and/or PorchJams Series! We will be in touch if we have an open slot to confirm you performance time/location.
Please note our musician guidelines below.
1. Musicians must wear a mask at all times unless signing or playing a wind instrument. We will aim to keep 20' of distance between the performers and audience, but singers are advised to place a clear shield around their microphone.
2. Musicians must bring all of their own equipment for their performance and can choose to play acoustic, if preferred
3. No more than 6 band members can perform together on a porch
4. Porch hosts will provide an extension cord (if musician is amplifying their music)
