PorchROKR

PorchROKR is a one-of-a-kind outdoor music festival held in the Highland Square neighborhood. The event features regional musicians across multiple genres performing throughout the day, with performances on neighborhood porches starting at 11am and running until 7pm. The festival wraps up with a headliner performance on the Main Stage from 7:30pm to 9pm. You'll find food vendors on-site, making it easy to enjoy a full day of live music and dining in this vibrant neighborhood filled with shops, restaurants, and bars. Each year, PorchROKR rotates through a different section of Highland Square to celebrate the area's historic homes, gardens, and charming architecture. For 2026, the festival takes place in the quadrant bordered by W. Market Street and S. Rose Boulevard to the north, S. Portage Path to the east, Elmore Avenue to the south, and W. Exchange Street to the west. This is a great family-friendly event to experience live music and explore a historic neighborhood all in one afternoon and evening.
