## THE 15-SECOND ANSWER

**Front Porch Fest returns to Haynie’s Corner September 5–6 for its 10th anniversary**, bringing nearly 50 musicians and groups to neighborhood porches for a free weekend of live music.

The main festival runs **Saturday from 3–8 p.m.**, followed by a Sunday after-party from **4–9 p.m.**

**Why it matters:** Front Porch Fest has grown into one of Evansville’s most distinctive community events — free, walkable and built around local neighborhoods rather than a traditional concert venue.

## WHAT IS FRONT PORCH FEST?

Front Porch Fest turns porches throughout the **Haynie’s Corner Arts District** into temporary stages.

Visitors can walk through the neighborhood, stop at different porches and hear musicians performing a wide range of styles.

The 2026 event marks the festival’s **10th year in Evansville**.

## SATURDAY’S MUSIC

The main festival takes place **Saturday, September 5, from 3–8 p.m.**

Nearly **50 musicians and groups** from across the region are scheduled to perform.

Performances are divided into two shifts:

- **3–5:30 p.m.**
- **5:30–8 p.m.**

Music includes styles such as:

- acoustic
- Americana
- country
- jazz
- classic rock
- indie
- pop
- R&B

Food trucks will also be available throughout the neighborhood.

## SUNDAY AFTER-PARTY

The anniversary celebration continues **Sunday, September 6, from 4–9 p.m.**

The Sunday lineup includes:

- Hannah Evelyn & The Handmades
- Tony Henning
- Gavin Vollman

## COST

The main Front Porch Fest is **free and family-friendly**.

That makes it one of the larger local events readers can attend without buying a traditional concert ticket.

## WHERE

Front Porch Fest takes place throughout the **Haynie’s Corner Arts District** near Second Street and Adams Avenue in Evansville.

Because performances are spread among neighborhood porches, visitors should expect to walk between stages.

## ANOTHER OPTION THIS WEEKEND

Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden is also continuing **Wild Summer Lights** this weekend.

The after-hours event runs **6–10 p.m. Thursday through Sunday** and features more than a mile of illuminated Chinese lantern displays, live local music and rotating food trucks.

Wild Summer Lights continues through **October 4**.
