Planning is underway for Belmont Porchfest’s most ambitious event yet to reflect on and celebrate our resilience as a community. Porchfest is scheduled for September 10, and registration is open at BelmontPorchfest.org. Expect to see our new “Thank You Sponsors!” signs in front of EVERY registered porch beginning in early July.

A peek behind the curtain reveals plans for a Park Palooza (location TBA) featuring student musicians, a community-wide art project, and food vendors. The art project is geared toward all ages, aimed to bring out our inner painters and writers, each creating a small part of a larger image. Julie Choi, Belmont High School Class of 2018, is leading the art project and is looking for student and adult volunteers to help explain and manage the project. We are also looking for people interested in filming and taking photos at Porchfest, and for a point person at the Palooza to work with volunteers managing the student musicians, vendors, attendee safety and comfort, and the art project, and coordinating with the town.
Volunteers can register at BelmontPorchfest.org. Sponsors and vendors can reach Belmont Porchfest at BelmontPorchfest@gmail.com.
Mary Bradley is the founder of Belmont Porchfest and a Town Meeting Member.
