Springfield’s Porchfest Celebrates 10 Years of Ushering in Autumn Season with Cool Indie Sounds

Since its inaugural arrival in 2014, the music-and-community event known as Porchfest has been giving local music lovers an intimate and chill way to witness well-established and emerging musical acts in a downhome, and free, setting. The bands perform on porches, food and beer trucks abound, and the family-and-dog friendly event (including the canine-specific Poochfest area) remains one of the more inclusive and laid-back Northeast Florida music festivals.
