Woohoo! In case you’ve yet to hear, Atlanta Magazine has awarded the Oakhurst Porchest a “Best of Atlanta” award this year under the category of “Neighborhood Festival” with this write up…
Before the last amp had been unplugged at the second annual Oakhurst Porchfest in October, the chatter had already begun: Can we do this again in the spring? Close to 200 musical acts—from family groups to soul singers to Americana bands by the wheelbarrow-full—arranged themselves in front yards and on porches throughout this Decatur neighborhood. Pity the motorists trying to weave through the narrow streets, which were packed with thousands of attendees. oakhurstporchfest.org
As always, Porchfest wouldn’t be what it is without the countless support and energy of the Oakhurst neighborhood. This a credit to all of you for putting on a hell of an event for the community the last two years. And in the future!
Congratulations, Scott Doyon!
Well done, O!
Porchfest HQ further tips the hat to Angie and Sarah from the Decatur Arts Alliance and, of course, the media powerhouse that is DM and Mrs. DM.
Fran McGranaghan was the highlight of Porch Fest for me personally. He lit up the stage with Van Morrison, Eagles, etc
