According to the event’s website, four women — Nancy, Shana, Kim and Shelly — started the Sanford Porchfest Corporation “to create an unforgettable experience for their city.”
“They refer to Sanford Porchfest as an event FOR the community, BY the community, tirelessly donating their time and attention to bringing Sanford Porchfest to life year after year,” the website reads.
From classical to indie to Americana and blues, there will be 74 bands performing on 18 porches.
“This event’s mission is to raise as much money for the future of the arts in Seminole County, so please make sure to show your support of this free event by donating, purchasing merch, or bidding on an art auction item. Additionally, please feel free to tip those who make you move your feet and get up off your seat (or grassy spot)!” event organizers wrote online.
