Musicians played at homes across the West Bayfront, giving people the chance to walk from block to block and hear a variety of live music. <\/p>\n

Organizers said the event started during COVID as a way to get people together and enjoy their time, and it\u2019s only grown from there. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about the community, it\u2019s about the people. So it\u2019s great chance for us people to get together, get to know your neighbor and to be able to ride hospitality, cause that\u2019s showing love for your neighbor,\u201d said Chuck Nelson, event organizer for PorchFest.<\/p>\n
