Chamber music, metal, “stoner folk,” jazz, a bit of standup comedy and more: Red Bank’s second annual Porchfest townwide music festival promises a cornucopia of melody Sunday.
But who’s playing, when and where? Here’s a handy guide to help you plan an itinerary.
Use the interactive map to zoom in on temporary bike routes and locations of each performance site. Photos show scenes from the first Porchfest on Branch Avenue, top, and Wallace Street, below. (Photos by John T. Ward. Click to enlarge.)
Slated to run from noon to 5 p.m., Porchfest will put more than 90 acts on 25 stages, driveways, lawns and gazebos throughout town, organizers said.
To encourage attendees to pedal their way from venue to venue, they have arranged for the creation of temporary bike lanes, as detailed on the map above, courtesy of the transportation nonprofit EZ Ride.
Here’s the lineup of acts by location as of Thursday afternoon, with a bit of description, where available. (The blue number buttons link to map locations):
