ROCHESTER - Rochester's Porchfest 2026 has been postponed till Oct. 4 due to a forecasted nor'easter expected over the weekend.
PorchFest is a free outdoor music festival featuring more than 50 local bands, duos, and solo artists performing on more than 20 stages throughout downtown Rochester.
According to organizers, participating musicians are generously donating their time and talents to support the RPAC Scholarship Fund, which helps youth and teens in the community explore their visual, musical, and performing arts passions.
The Opera House notes that every wristband purchase and donation goes directly toward assisting a student in need. Guests are encouraged to enjoy the music, discover new bands, and take part in all the other exciting activities happening at PorchFest. Visit www.rochesteroperahouse.com for more information.
