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.
