Porchfest N.D.G. is kicking off on Saturday at 11 a.m. with an opening show at the N.D.G Food Depot where crowds can pick up maps, schedules and merchandise. There will be 95 performances throughout N.D.G. on Saturday and Sunday. Bands like Crackers and Jam, Hard Red Spring and Knocking Sparks will be playing on side streets such as Oxford, Regent and Montclair Aves.

“There are a few shows that start everywhere, but the majority start in the east and move west,” said co-coordinator Aurora Robinson. “We really want to draw attention to the side streets and to the residential areas, because it is about neighbours.”

A full schedule can be found on the Porchfest N.D.G. website in advance. All donations collected will go toward improving the Westhaven-Elmhurst Community Association’s music education resources and programming for local youth.
