Porchfest Returns to Osawatomie This Fall

Free live music, local talent, and community fun return to Brown Avenue

October 2, 2025

The City of Osawatomie Arts Commission is thrilled to announce that Porchfest is back this fall! This free, family-friendly community event brings live music right to the porches, yards, and driveways of Brown Avenue, creating an afternoon full of local talent and neighborly fun.

Porchfest is open to everyone—whether you want to perform or simply enjoy the music. Acoustic or low amplification sets will fill the neighborhood with sound, making it easy to relax with friends, family, and neighbors. Just grab a blanket or lawn chair, pack a cooler (no alcohol, please!), and stroll along to discover new performers and familiar favorites.

This year’s Porchfest will once again take place on Brown Avenue between the 900 and 1100 blocks. Porches featuring live performances will be marked with yard signs, and a digital map will be available as the event gets closer. Sets run one hour each, and performers are staggered across the event area to keep the tunes flowing all afternoon.





More details about amenities—like food and drink vendors—will be announced as the date approaches. One important note: attendees are responsible for their own seating and transportation between performances, as the Arts Commission cannot provide those accommodations.

Porchfest is more than just a concert—it’s a celebration of community, creativity, and connection. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this unique Osawatomie tradition!
