Be a Porchfest Host

How It Works

  1. Apply to be a host

  2. We’re working with the Norcross Police Department to finalize the festival zone and road closures.

  3. We’ll contact accepted Porch Home Hosts in early 2027 with their artist lineup and day-of details.

Porch Host Application

Applications are open to be a Porch Home Host for Norcross Porchfest on Saturday, May 1, 2027. Submit your application.

Who Can Host

Porchfest is centered on Thrasher Park in Historic Norcross. We’re looking for host homes in the festival zone along N Peachtree St, Park Drive, Buchanan St, Ollie Ave, and Thrasher St NW. You don’t need a porch. A front yard or driveway works just as well.

What Hosting Means

Each host home will feature 2–3 bands during the day. The Porchfest team assigns artists to each home and handles scheduling, booking, and promotion, so you can simply enjoy the music and meet your neighbors. We also coordinate street closures and permits with the City of Norcross.

Hosts provide power for each performance: a standard outdoor outlet, plus an extension cord and power strip. If you have a folding table, tent, cooler, or PA system to share, you can tell us on the application.

Rain or Shine

Porchfest happens rain or shine. If severe weather makes it unsafe, the backup date is Sunday, May 2, 2027. Hosts agree to host on either day.

Perks for Hosts

Every Porch Home Host gets access to the VIP Afterparty as a thank-you for making Porchfest possible.

More Ways to Help

Live outside the festival zone? You can still take part. Volunteer on the day of the event, or become a Resident Sponsor to help keep Porchfest free for everyone.
