Bluffton PorchFest '25, is an August 30 event that coincides with an international celebration of live music, Play Music on The Porch Day. Organizers have worked with performers since last year’s event to find a host porch or other "stage" in Bluffton. Several open mic opportunities are also scheduled.

Lead organizer Erik Reneker advises attendees to bring chairs and hydration. He also encourages you to  tip the performers, who are not getting paid to play: "Tips are nice for gas money and guitar strings." He also says, "Make sure the hosts, neighborhoods and other guests will want to do it again next year."
