Back Porch Festival

Since its inception in 2014, the Back Porch Festival has rapidly grown from a one-day event at Northampton's Academy of Music Theater to a multi-venue festival showcasing some of America's finest roots music. Annually, the festival broadcasts a live version of the Back Porch radio show from the Parlor Room to an enthusiastic festival audience.

Mark your calendars for the Back Porch Festival on March 3-5, 2023! In its new and improved format, you'll be able to dance away with dozens of bands from across America as they play in eight venues throughout downtown Northampton. This will surely be a magical weekend overflowing with sensational music.

Prepare yourself for an enchanting evening of music featuring the diverse and eclectic sounds of Kris Delmhorst, Deep River Ramblers, Tracy Grammer, Peter Mulvey, and numerous other talented acts. This program offers a delightful blend of new and classic country, bluegrass, folk-style tunes, and all kinds of American roots music!
