The Sanford Porchfest Music Festival is upon us once again this Saturday February 25th, 11am-745pm! Now in its 6th year, it’s bigger and better than ever!
We here at Historic Downtown Sanford® are happy to be sponsoring again and will be setup at The McLendons PORCH #13 with our friends from Sanford Brewing Company! Be sure to stop by and say hello!

HOW TO PORCHFEST:
Load up your chairs and blankets as we transform the historic district into an artistic gathering space! Spend the day meeting new neighbors and experiencing all that Sanford Porchfest has to offer: live music, art auction, food vendors and fun surprises on every curb.
This FREE event is built and ran entirely on goodwill: so please donate to the Sanford Porchfest Scholarship fund by purchasing merch, making a cash or digital donation at any of the porches, or bidding on one of our art auction items. Don’t forget to tip the bands, who also donate their time to bring you this incredible event!
100% of the proceeds (generated from donations, art sales and merchandise sales) will be reinvested into the community by funding art-based programming and fine art scholarships throughout Seminole County.
