PorchFest in Mount Morris set Saturday, June 8

MOUNT MORRIS – There will be plenty of tunes to hear and porches to visit during the seventh annual Encore! PorchFest Saturday, June 8, in Mount Morris.

“PorchFest is the ultimate grassroots community music festival. Many favorites from past years, along with some new musicians, will perform 45-minute sets on community porches and lawns throughout the festival area between 1 and 5 p.m. The audience picks their choices from a schedule and moves from location to location. Bring your lawn chairs or sit in the grass, walk or ride your bike,” said Jeff Bold, one of the event’s organizers.
