The second annual Medford Porchfest, an afternoon of free performances throughout the city, spotlighting the musical skills and diverse cultures of the Medford community, takes place today from noon to 5 p.m. In last year’s inaugural event, more than 150 acts played at over 100 locations. The deadline to sign up as a host or performer is Monday, May 20. Visit the Porchfest website for more information and to sign up.

Would you like to help us run Porchfest? Volunteer tasks could include delivering signs and flyers before the event (and picking them up afterward), visiting porches on the day of the event to help problem-solve, fundraising, and social media.
