Quick Porchfest Update:
Today was our first Porchfest Volunteer Kickoff at Cultivation Brewery, and the response from the Norcross community truly exceeded expectations. More than 30 volunteers showed up, and the energy was incredible. We are off to a strong start.
The website is now live, where you can find event details, ways to get involved, and a full list of FAQs.
Special thanks to Kat Whaley of Kat Ash Illustrations for creating the initial branding and design kit. Her work helped bring the spirit of Porchfest to life.
We announced plans for the inaugural Norcross Porchfest, taking place on May 2, 2026. The event will be centered around Thrasher Park, and we’ve officially secured the date with the city. There are hundreds of moving pieces, but after today’s warm reception, we’re confident we can bring this vision to life together.
3 festival directors introduced themselves today:
Kristen Corley, who writes the Young Norcross newsletter, is leading partnerships and sponsorships
Jonathan Corley, a longtime Norcross resident with a background in music, entertainment, and marketing technology, is leading marketing and artist outreach
Andrew Lydon, a local resident, logistics expert, and avid traveler, is leading finance and operations
Festival Directors outlined the main areas where Volunteers can jump in:
Day-of support such as artist check-in, merch tables, or porch management
Artist and marketing help including graphic design, video editing, and committee support
Sponsorship and partnerships, especially helpful if you have strong local business relationships
Resident Sponsorships are now open. For $250, you’ll receive a shoutout on the website, an exclusive “First Porchfest Backer” sign for your property, and access to the VIP after party in early 2026.
We’ve already had some Resident Sponsors step up, and we’re so encouraged by the momentum. Porchfest is about community, and it only works when we build it together. Whether you help shape the event behind the scenes or simply lend your porch or your support, your role matters.
