Boston Globe: "another example of local leadership combining neighborliness with civic boosterism"

Via the Boston Globe

"This Saturday, at least four Massachusetts communities will host a Porchfest of their own, including Newton, Medford, Franklin, and Dorchester (“Dorchfest”). Arlington and the Fenway neighborhood are coming up on June 20, and the second annual Cambridge Porchfest is set for July 11.

....

In Norfolk County, the Town of Franklin (as it’s officially known, though it now has city government) will host its third Porchfest this weekend. Mixing private residences with municipal spaces in Franklin’s Cultural District, this Porchfest is another example of local leadership combining neighborliness with civic boosterism.

“What’s unique about us is we’re not only on porches but on town property,” said John Lopresti, chair of Franklin’s Cultural District Committee. They’ll have music on the Franklin Town Common, at the Historical Museum, and on the steps of the Franklin Public Library, the nation’s first.

“We wanted to expand it, really bring the beauty of Franklin [by] showcasing these historical assets,” Lopresti said."

Get a good seat behind the scenes at Franklin PorchFest by Volunteering !!!

PorchFest is Saturday, June 6th which is quickly approaching, and we need volunteers to help ensure it runs smoothly!

This year's event will feature more than 50 bands performing on 30 porches across the Cultural District. We'll need about 12-15 volunteers who will act as porch managers - working with porch hosts and bands to ensure performances happen as scheduled.

Additionally, we'll need help staffing the two PorchFest Information booths - assisting residents and guests find bands and porch locations within the district.

If you are interested in volunteering for this community event, simply register above at the VOLUNTEER SIGNUP link to be part of one of Franklin’s favorite community music events.
