This is pretty cool, if you’ve got nothing on this weekend, check out Jacksonville Porchfest, taking place this Saturday, November 7, 2026, at the Southwest Quadrant of Historic Springfield. This is within a three-block of Silver Street to Boulevard and 3rd Street to 8th Street. You’ll be walking around a lot, visiting various porches, so put on your walking shoes.
Walking is encouraged, but there is a shuttle service, if you decide to park nearby the Bethel Church, Florida Department of Health, FSCJ Downtown Campus, or UF Health Parking Lot J. I looked at the map, you can just walk to the event from these parking locations without any issues.
To be perfectly honest, I’ve never heard of any of these 24 bands. I am assuming they’re all local Jacksonville musicians. Judging from porch (resident homes) setups, space may be really limited, especially if there is already a large crowd gathering.
I will try and get photos of all the performers, including the headliner The Rumble, featuring Chief Joseph Boudreaux Jr., so I may be running around trying to make it to all the different porches.
