CALDWELL, NJ — Caldwell's porches and lawns will once again be alive with the sound of music. Caldwell Porchfest, a free music festival featuring performers of all ages and genres, will take place on Saturday, Sept. 10, from 1 to 7 p.m., all around town.

The all-volunteer Caldwell Porchfest committee is currently asking Caldwell residents who would like to host performances, as well as local amateur musicians interested in performing, to sign up at caldwellporchfest.com.

The committee will announce selections by the end of July.

Festival goers will have the chance to hop from porch to porch to catch live local acts, then gather at the Main Stage in the downtown for the headlining act.

Last year, more than 30 bands performed on 10 porches around town, and about 400 friends and neighbors gathered for the finale featuring The Milwaukees.
