DESCRIPTION
Organization description
About the organization: activities, who you serve, who belongs, brief history.
Note: Describe mission, services and volunteer opportunities in the other boxes below.
<p>Winchester Porchfest is a unique, volunteer-organized, one-day community-building music festival where Winchester residents lend their porches as pop-up micro-stages to amateur musicians who will showcase their musical talent to neighbors who will walk around town and join other community members in enjoying concerts and the atmosphere. Porchfest is a program of Winchester Friends of Music.</p>
Mission
What is the purpose of your organization? Why do you exist? Why should people join or support you?
<p>The Winchester Porchfest organization exists to promote, manage, and operate the Porchfest community music festival in Winchester, coordinating the contributions of performers and hosts so that all talents can be recognized for the benefit of the community.</p>
Programs or Services offered
What the organization offers to the community: programs, activities, skills, areas of interest, etc. Could be a simple description, a bulleted list with links, or something else.
<p>Porchfest has always been held on the second Saturday in June, with a possible rain date on the following day. In addition to the one-day festival, the Porchfest organization maintains connections with many performers in town and occasionally facilitates performances at other times and places. However, Porchfest is not a promoter or booking agent and makes no profits from its activities.</p>
Volunteer opportunities
How could volunteers contribute, for either regular activities special events?
<p>Porchfest runs on volunteers, and all those with interest and enthusiasm are welcome. Activities typically start around February and ramp up towards the day of the event in June. <em>For preparations</em> we need promoters, graphic designers, grant writers, networkers, schedulers, sign posters, and creative thinkers to identify and encourage good performers and find great porches. <em>For the event</em> we need help with matching performers with porches, with producing and distributing materials. <em>On the day of the event </em>we could use porch monitors, social media assistants, live streaming/video coordinators, and help with logistics. A small group can do a lot because it's really about supporting the community, but there are plenty of ways to help.</p>
