Featuring 100+ bands, this free event will showcase some of DC’s best local musical talent, featuring nearly every musical genre, including classic rock, funk, go-go, rap, reggae, bluegrass, classical, and pop.This year, the event will be bigger than ever, with dozens of residential patios hosting local acts, a roster of nearly 50 discounts and special offers from local businesses, and a pedestrian zone closed to driving so festival-goers can explore the neighborhood and roam about the performances freely. This year, the closed pedestrian zone will nearly double in size, stretching from Columbia Road to Florida Avenue!
This year’s headliners include La Unica, the only Irish Latin live music band in the US, Jackson Perkins, a U.S. Marine & rising country music star, and, of course, youth performances from School of Rock. The full lineup of performers and mainstage locations will be coming soon to AdMoPorchFest.com.
