Cranford to hold 5th annual Porchfest

Cranford Porchfest – Oct. 9

On Saturday, October 9th, the 5th Annual Cranford Porchfest will kick off with bands rocking and rolling all over town. Eleven homes will host four bands each, starting at 1:30 in the afternoon until 5:15 p.m. There will be a grand finale show at 5:45 p.m. at the Downtown Clock. Rain date is October 16th.

Bands will play music from a variety of genres and most are New Jersey locals to boot! Some folks walk or ride bikes from one porch to another checking out their favorite bands while others park themselves with friends on a single lawn for hours of live music.


Due to the continued pandemic, safety, as with all Cranford Community Connection events, is our number one priority. We are working hand in hand with the Cranford Police Department, Office of Emergency Management and the Health Department for this year’s event. The event will comply with national, state, and local health guidance.

We encourage people to be respectful of each others’ space and to be mindful of safe social distancing. Masks are not required outside but if you feel safer wearing one, you may.

We will also be continuing a virtual component this year for those who are unable or uncomfortable to attend in person. We will provide a live Facebook stream in conjunction with Virtual Cranford.

We are thrilled to host Cranford Porchfest for the 5th year in a row. We are motivated by the consistent positive feedback we have received from the residents. It is wonderful to read how Cranford Porchfest has become the number one event for our town. We cannot wait to see people out having a great time with neighbors, enjoying this amazing event safely!
