David Perry & Associates, Inc. is delighted to represent the 2nd annual Porchfest Benicia on Saturday, September 13, 2025 (www.porchfest-benicia.com) having been part of its launch in September 2024.
A vibrant and community-driven music festival, the first annual Porchfest Benicia transformed the charming porches of Benicia’s vintage homes and the bustling storefronts of First Street into lively stages for a diverse lineup of musical performances, art and interactive family-friendly experiences. With more than 10,000 attendees filling Benicia’s historic streets and enjoying live performances from over 20 bands from all over the Bay Area as well as local talent, in its first year Porchfest Benicia has already become one of the Bay Area’s most anticipated community events.
“This year’s Porchfest was an absolute triumph,” said Mary Hand, Publisher of Benicia Magazine and creative force behind the free musical festival. “It was thrilling to see our porches and streets come alive with music, laughter, and joy. The support from the community has been incredible, and we’re already gearing up to make next year’s event even bigger and better.”
“Come on up and sit a spell,” quipped Mary Hand, publisher of Benicia Magazine and the visionary who is spearheading the event. “Those of us who live, love and labor in Benicia know what hiding-in-plain sight gem our little town is. We want to re-introduce it to the world, especially our neighbors around the Bay.”
Porchfest is an annual celebration that began in Ithaca, New York, in 2007, and has since spread across the United States and Canada. It brings together local musicians and community members to showcase their talents on front porches, storefronts, and driveways, promoting a sense of community and pride.
