Cranford Porchfest Will Bring Music To 10 Porches In October

CRANFORD, NJ — Residents can socially distance while listening to 30 bands on 10 porches when Cranford's Porchfest returns Oct. 10.

"Open air music event with social distancing?" asked the organizers. "No problem! The Cranford Community Connection is continuing the fall tradition of Porchfest on Oct. 10 from 2 to 5:30 p.m. and we couldn’t be more overjoyed! This is the fourth year that this incredible organization is bringing you Cranford Porchfest."

The event is described as "a FREE musical event open to EVERYONE and completely powered by the 'do-it-yourself' concept and orchestrated by local volunteers, space provided by the homeowners, entertainment by musicians donating their time, and a day enjoyed by the community!"

The bands, to be announced soon, will conclude by 5 p.m. that day, with a finale event at 5:30. The rain date is Oct. 17.
