Musicians, singers and performers of all genres are encouraged to sign up to perform. Previous Porch Fests have featured rock bands, rappers, folk singers, a cappella groups, jazz combos, children's/family performers, Latin and Caribbean bands, classical ensembles and opera singers of all ages and abilities.

Those interested in hosting a performance should also register via the Porch Fest website. Though called "Porch Fest," the festival's performance spaces have included backyards, patios, driveways and garages. Music will be scheduled between 1:00-6:00 PM, and hosts and bands can specify the time slots that work best for them.

Roslindale Porch Fest began in 2015, and has presented a day of free live music across Roslindale's neighborhoods each year since (with the exception of 2020 due to covid). While early festivals were sponsored by the Roslindale Arts Alliance, since 2022 the festival has been sponsored by Roslindale Village Main Streets. Local business sponsorships and individual contributions are greatly appreciated. There are also volunteer opportunities for publicity, street team, and logistics.
