SPAR Council is excited to present Historic Springfield’s favorite day of the year – Jacksonville PorchFest is tak ing place this Saturday, November 5th, from 12 pm to 8 pm on the East side of Main Street. Attendees will enjoy 25 performers of all different genres on 18 porches and at Sesquicentennial Park, a family-friendly and dog-friendly atmosphere, as well as over 75 vendors ranging from food trucks to fine art.
Jacksonville PorchFest is a FREE event for the entire community, and we cannot wait to welcome our friends to our historic one-square mile. Plan your visit to Jacksonville’s oldest and original front porch neighborhood with the event map below, and make sure to purchase a beverage or t-shirt to support the festival.
Bring a chair so you can sit and watch the music, and you can bring your pet along as long as it’s on a leash. But don’t bring your own beer — outside alcohol isn’t allowed, and those who wish to drink must check in at the park to get a wristband. Parking is available at the FSCJ Downtown Campus off Laura Street.
