Saturday, August 29, 2026, Play Music on The Porch Day, a.k.a. Bluffton PorchFest

Application deadline is 11:59 p.m., Saturday, May 2, 2026***

FROM FACEBOOK__Bluffton PorchFest is a multi-genre event, open to all area musicians and bands. 

Bluffton PorchFest is a tips-only event.

We can supply the "Tip Jars" if needed and will aggressively promote tipping the performers.

Bands are welcome to sell CDs, T-Shirts, Hats, and other merchandise.

For 2026, we would like to have a minimum of 25 performers/groups. We could add more as porch host locations and performers apply. Last year, we had 24 performers/groups. 

The selection of artists and schedules will be based on creating a diverse genre of music. All genres are welcome to apply. 

Sets are 45-50 minutes and start at 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 PM. Artists can choose to perform for multiple time slots and/or longer sessions at the same location. 

Set up and teardown will be on the alternating hours of your performance. For example: If you play at 2 p.m.  on Porch “A” … you will start your set up after 1 p.m. The performer from 12-12:45 will be tearing down as soon as they are finished.
