The porches of downtown Napa will be music-free this weekend â but organizers of Napa Porchfest may recast this yearâs summertime music crawl as a downtown concert in the early fall.
In their effort to bring Porchfest back to live audiences for the first time since before the coronavirus pandemic, directors are attempting to recast this year s festival of local and regional musicians as a free showcase for up to a dozen acts at the Oxbow Commons park.
The event, tentatively scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 26, would take place on the temporary set that will host this yearâs Oxbow RiverStage concert series, which begins next month and will run into October.
