Hey there Abel Bennett Tract residents,
As the world opens and a return of the things we love looms on the horizon, there is hope that our beautiful community will dance in the streets once more on Sunday, August 29th for the sixth annual Binghamton Porchfest.
Over the years, this collaborative celebration has grown into one of our city’s most anticipated cultural events, bringing thousands of community members to our small corner of the west side to enjoy an afternoon of music and dancing, performed by hundreds of regional musicians on our neighbors’ front porches, yards, and driveways.
A fluid border of Riverside Drive, Beethoven Street, Chestnut Street, and Recreation Park has come to define the festival footprint - the Abel Bennett Historic Tract - and Porchfest is built by and for residents of this neighborhood (we welcome most outliers, too!).
As we begin to plan a 2021 celebration, we would like to offer our neighbors the opportunity to share your thoughts on if and how the festival should proceed this summer. If you’d like to take a few minutes to voice your opinion by completing a short survey, we’d be very grateful to hear from you by Monday, June 7.
