“Old Milford Porchfest is truly a community-powered event,” said Elizabeth Buhr, founder and president of Old Milford Porchfest. “Our musicians, porch hosts, volunteers, sponsors, local businesses and residents all play a part in making the day happen. Three years ago, this started with a simple idea that Milford was meant to have a Porchfest. Seeing it grow into a day that brings so many people together is incredibly meaningful to us. This is more than just a music festival; it’s a showcase of community pride, creative energy and local musical talent.”
Musicians, porch hosts, sponsors, volunteers and local businesses have all come together to make Old Milford Porchfest possible. Whether you’re coming to dance, discover a new favorite musician, spend time with friends and family, or simply enjoy a fall day exploring Milford, there will be plenty to see and hear.
