PorchFest - Music and Food in Historic Springfield

Springfield is the oldest residential neighborhood in Jacksonville. The area has had it's ups and downs over the years but it appears to be in recovery mode. 

We enjoyed a nice walk through Springfield today as we took in the sights and sounds of Porchfest. This is the second year Porchfest has been held and it appears this free, family friendly event is a success.


What is Porchfest?

"A Music Festival on the Welcoming Porches of Historic Springfield."
Jacksonville Porchfest



Nice crowds of people roamed the shady, tree lined streets.




 Food trucks provided enough variety for any appetite. 






The porches provided the stage and chairs and blankets the seating as local talent entertained the crowds. 








Indie band Complicated Animals






R&B and Soul - Groove Coalition 


There were twenty different bands playing in two sessions on various porches scattered throughout the neighborhood. Something for everyone. 


It seemed that all the neighbors were getting into the spirit of the event. 







Porchfest was celebrated on a beautiful, sunny Florida day. A day filled with fun, food and music bringing a community together and showcasing a lovely neighborhood.
