You did it. You showed up, you took the blank slate we gave you and you filled it with music, laughter, fun, and joy. You met your neighbors, you shared food and drink and festivity with them. You rolled with an incredibly frustrating last minute weather change and rescheduling that wasn’t easy for anyone.

You showed us what an incredible community of kind, warm, friendly people we have here in Medford, and that we know how to come together and have a good time.

To all of the hosts, performers, attendees, to the City of Medford, and our ever-supportive Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn, to our volunteers, business supporters, and for the indispensable support of Arts Collaborative Medford, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts turning out and reminding us why we do this.

We hope you had a blast. See you in 2026.

Let’s try this again—the rescheduled Medford Porchfest is good to go for today, Sunday, June 8th!

We have made an effort to remove from our schedule any hosts or artists we have been notified are not participating today. However, given the nature of rescheduling, there may be changes we have missed.

We hope that will get out there and support our hosts and artists on this much nicer day. Thank you for your patience, and have a great Medford Porchfest 2025!

Friends of Porchfest: The forecast has worsened significantly since we made the call yesterday to proceed. At this moment, even though it is less than 3 hours until start time, for the safety and well being of all involved we must officially postpone until tomorrow, Sunday, June 8.

We understand that many porches and hosts may not be available tomorrow, but hope for as close to a full participation as possible.

Porchfest is an outdoor event so there’s always a risk of bad weather. We’re as disappointed as you are that not everyone will get to play as a result of this difficult weather choice.

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST! There are a lot of people that need to get the word quickly!

UPDATE: With a significantly worse forecast this morning, we have POSTPONED to SUNDAY, JUNE 8th.

———————————-

After careful consideration of both the weather and the logistics of hosts and performers, we have decided to go ahead with Medford Porchfest on Saturday, June 7th. There is some rain in the forecast, so please be smart, use porches or pop-up tents if you have them, and of course have fun!

A few raindrops can’t damp in the spirit of Medford’s biggest party of the year. See you out there on Saturday!

We know the question on everyone’s mind right now is, will Medford Porchfest be rain delayed?

At this time, we’re still keeping an eye on Saturday’s forecast. It has changed continually through the week, and we will have a definitive answer by Friday.

For those asking, why not just make the call now, a not-insignificant number of our hosts and performers cannot do the Sunday date. While we have understood this all along, would really prefer to keep our original date if at all possible.

There are some showers predicted for Sunday as well, so this is a great time for our host to look for a pop-up canopy or something of the like if need be.

Stay tuned for more info!
