Porchfest 2024 in the GE Realty Plot!
Saturday, 9/21 from 12-5 pm.
The Porchfest concept started in Ithaca as a way for community members to walk around from house to house and enjoy free music. Steve Weisse, a local musician and the secretary-treasurer of Local 85-133 of the American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada, the local musicians union in Schenectady says the idea for this event came from a previous student of his but he decided to change it a little bit by paying the musicians.
