Music will once again fill the porches of Mount Vernon’s historic High Street neighborhood as the Kokosing Valley Arts Alliance presents the July Front Porch Concert Series on Friday, July 17.
The free community event transforms front porches into outdoor stages, creating a walkable music festival where visitors can enjoy performances by local and regional musicians while exploring one of Mount Vernon’s most picturesque neighborhoods.
The Front Porch Concert Series has become one of the community’s signature summer traditions, drawing residents and visitors downtown for an evening of live music, conversation and community. Guests are invited to stroll from porch to porch at their own pace, experiencing a variety of musical genres performed in an intimate outdoor setting.
In addition to the music, organizers encourage attendees to make an evening of it by dining at local restaurants, visiting downtown businesses and enjoying everything Mount Vernon’s historic district has to offer. The event is free and open to the public. Visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets for porch-side listening, although many attendees choose to walk between performance locations throughout the evening.
Presented by the Kokosing Valley Arts Alliance, the concert series is designed to celebrate local musicians while strengthening connections within the community through the arts. See the full schedule of performing artists below!
