The Rochester Opera House invites the community to PorchFest, a free outdoor music festival featuring more than 50 local bands, duos, and solo artists performing on over 20 stages throughout downtown Rochester on Sunday, September 28, 2025.

According to organizers, the participating musicians are generously donating their time and talents to support the RPAC Scholarship Fund, which helps youth and teens in the community explore their visual, musical, and performing arts passions.

The Opera House notes that every wristband purchase and donation goes directly toward assisting a student in need. Guests are encouraged to enjoy the music, discover new bands, and take part in all the other exciting activities happening at PorchFest.

Visit www.rochesteroperahouse.com for more information. Rain date: Sunday, October 5, 2025.
