Williams Woodland Park’s version of the national phenomenon called “PorchFest,” where we will be offering live music, artists at work, storytellers, a “KidFest” component, and garden tours. All of this will take place on 3 blocks of the neighborhood, with most performances on the porches of our historic homes. To make it even better, nearly half of the performers live right here in our neighborhood.

The event is open to the public on Saturday, June 3, from 11AM until 3PM.

Williams Woodland Park is about a mile south of downtown, best reached from Clinton or Calhoun when coming from the downtown area. The 300 block of West Woodland (between Webster and Hoagland), and the 2400 and 2500 blocks of Webster will be closed to traffic and open for PorchFest! Link to the map, click Here.

The only entrance gate will be located at the corner of Webster and Suttenfield. You will need to check in at the gate, either to purchase tickets or to confirm your online purchase and receive a bracelet to attend all events.

Parking is available on surrounding streets, as well as in the parking lot of Templo Aposento Alto church (enter from Pontiac onto Webster), and two parking lots adjacent to the Simpson-Getsemani United Methodist Church, between Harrison and Calhoun streets. Link to the map, click Here.
