First-Ever Montclair Porchfest Happening in May 2025
Porchfest is known across the United States, Canada, and beyond as a way for the community to celebrate local talent. Now, Porchfest will officially make its debut in Montclair this year. The Montclair Porchfest organizers shared with The Montclair Girl back in October that the team was aiming for the event to take place in spring 2025 — and now, we know that Porchfest will be on May 17th. Read on for details about the first-ever Montclair Porchfest happening this May, including a glimpse into which local artists are participating.
The Montclair Event
The first-ever Montclair Porchfest will take place on Saturday, May 17th, 2025. The Montclair Porchfest Instagram account announced the official date back in December 2024.

So, how does Montclair Porchfest work? Every house in every ward in town has the opportunity to volunteer their porch to host a band. There are no exclusions. "This will be the largest festival to come to town," the organizers told MG.
The Montclair Porchfest time slots will be held between 12PM and 7PM, and the organizers will have a map of bands/artists and locations for locals to plan their day. After the bands finish at 7PM, there will be a main stage with a final act on Bloomfield Avenue from 7PM-10PM (the exact location has yet to be announced). The main stage event will also include food + retail vendors as well as local businesses. See the full schedule and map at this link.

As of this writing, the band and porch registration has closed. Those interested in getting involved and volunteering can register here. Keep up with future updates on the event on the Montclair Porchfest website and Instagram.
