time: 12-6+ pm (differs per porch - check sched)

after party: TBD

contact: hudson porchfest on fb, via email or hudsonporchfest.ca

where: we will let you know where your porch is. for example, we might tell you “you’re @ 83 mcnaughten @ noon!” we will publish all the information as soon as possible.

how much experience do we need? hudson porchfest is for all levels of talent; from those looking to have a first gig to those who can't gig enough. just sign up - the audience loves music and will so appreciate that you're there.

how long do i play? typical sets are 45m, but bands can play 90m if they want - just let us know if you want to play longer - please email us here. 

can i play on the same porch as my buddies? yes! please let us know.

when is soundcheck? stand ready 20m before your set, start your soundcheck asap and play when ready!

what should i bring? 

♪ instruments, mics, stands, cables and extension cords.

♪ refillable water bottle/drinks.

♪ sunscreen and hat.

♪ canopy, umbrella or something in the case of no shade on your porch.

where can i eat? you will find a number of great restaurant options on main street. ask your porch hosts for a recommendation! 

where can i find a bathroom? commercial porches all have washrooms, private porches may or may not invite people in at their discretion.

is this a paid gig? no. audience donations go to cover costs, buy beer for the after-party, then all the rest goes to our charities as listed here.

all artists will be listed in our main facebook event, in your specific porch event as well as on our lineup web page. if you have given us a link, this link will also be on our web page. 

is there a budget for sound and equipment? no.

where can i see who else is playing? facebook.com/hudsonporchfest and https://hudsonporchfest.ca/lineup-2022. for all general updates about porchfest, please like our page. 

please help us promote your porch!  share the main facebook event with your friends on facebook, send out the details via email or other social networks. if your band has a facebook page that you have shared with us, we’ll add you as a co-host for your porch’s event. if your band doesn't have a facebook page, please add one of the porchfest organisers as a friend on facebook so we can add you as a co-host to the event. then, please like, share and invite away!
