Welcome! Bring your lawn chair, bring your instrument, dress for the elements, come to any or all of the parties. We set these up so people of Edgewater could relax and enjoy the festivities in a more intimate setting, but everyone is welcome - no admission charge.

We don't want hosts to be overwhelmed, so please respect their hospitality. This feature of the festival is evolving, in a neighbourly spirit. There may be other unadvertised private porch parties around town too on Friday night, but these are the five we have set up. If a particular one is overfull, enjoy the park, a walking tour of Edgewater, or a quick bite at the Legion, instead – and move on to the next one.

Snack Time? Through the whole evening, the Edgewater Legion will be hosting their famous Friday Wing Night and cash bar. Stop there for a while to fuel up, or order take-out wings to bring along to the next party. Eric from Valley Dawgs will be set up with his little hot dog cart near the Post Office.
