The Wrap

Picture a concert where the stage is a neighbor's front porch. That's Porch Fest, a neighborhood house concert from the Beacon Hill and Alta Vista neighborhood associations, with local musicians playing on residents' porches. It's walkable, so you can stroll from one set to the next. We'd happily follow the music porch to porch.
