About Newark PorchFest
Newark PorchFest is a free, family-friendly celebration of the arts hosted annually in the beloved Forest Hill Historic District of Newark, NJ.
​
Musical, visual, and spoken word artists use neighborhood porches, stoops, and lawns to showcase their talents. Artists range from amateur to professional and represent a diverse range of genres and artistic styles.
​
Attendees walk, take complementary shuttles, ride bikes or scooters, or push strollers as they move from one porch to another throughout the neighborhood to partake in the festivities.
​
A wide range of food trucks offer refreshments throughout the day, and dedicated children's activities keep the little ones entertained and educated in the arts.
​
Newark PorchFest is an annual event proudly produced by the Forest Hill Community Association. The event is organized by a committee of volunteers and funded by generous sponsors. All event proceeds are contributed to local arts organizations, with a new beneficiary each year.
​
Please join us on Saturday, September 23 for Newark PorchFest 2023! (Rain date Sunday, September 24.)
​
We look forward to seeing you there!
