About Porchfest
The mission of the Williamsburg Cultural Council is to enrich the cultural fabric of our community and neighboring hill towns by promoting, funding, and supporting local artists, educators, and cultural organizations. We are dedicated to fostering creativity, collaboration, and the sharing of diverse cultural experiences, thereby contributing to the vitality of our communities through accessible art, music, and educational programs.
Porchfest was planned to bring more people to our charming little town and to show off some of our talented musicians. Since the second Saturday in September has always been the Grange Fair, we wanted to add a little music to the event and hopefully bring even more people to town.
In the event of bad weather, performances will alternate between Tangle Chocolate and Meekins Library.
Note: We have events in two areas. Most activities are in the Williamsburg center area, and we have two activities in Haydenville. Valley View Farm is for Thursday only, not Saturday.
