Imagine hosting a live music festival at your home, or more specifically your front porch
That’s what some Spokane folks have planned for this Saturday.
The event is called Porchfest-West Central. The general concept is several residents of the West Central neighborhood are hosting live musicians and poets, right on their front porch.
It’s the second year for the event.
Organizer Marshall Peterson says he got the idea from other communities around the country that host such an event. Given that the West Central neighborhood now has the new Kendall Yards development, he thought it might be a good way for old and new residents to mix it up:
“There’s a little bit of socio economic disparity between the two communities, although I think its much more perceived that it actually is. I figured why not stick musicians on people’s porches and let them interact with each other."
There are 11 homes hosting a wide array of musicians and poets between 3 and 7 o’clock this Saturday. You can find the complete listing and a map on their website: www.porchfestwestcentral.com
