Mark your calendars for July 11th & 12th, 2026, for Portland’s largest DIY music festival as our Overlook neighborhood transforms its streets into a vibrant, decentralized arts venue for the fifth annual Overlook Porchfest.
At its heart, Porchfest is a grassroots celebration where neighbors generously offer their front porches, driveways, and yards as stages for local musicians. For families, it represents an unparalleled opportunity to connect with neighbors and experience live art in a safe, walkable environment.
This year offers a trifecta of community events. The music festival coincides with the beloved Overlook Yard Sale and Free Share weekend, as well as the Mississippi Avenue Street Fair. Residents can spend the day hunting for yard sale treasures and shopping local street fair vendors before spreading a blanket on a neighbor’s lawn to enjoy an open-air concert.
This year we feature over 100 acts across 40 homes, parks, and local businesses. The musical lineup inclues incredible variety; from traditional folk and Americana, to driving rock, cumbia, and even unique styles like “pagan psychedelic goblin jazz.”
