For PorchFest 2023 – you know, Tropical Storm Ophelia, she really threw us a curveball. She came crashing in, pouring rain all over our plans, didn’t she? But hey, we’re not ones to let a little rain dampen our spirits. No sir. We rallied, salvaged what we could, and with the kindness of local businesses, we managed to keep the music alive. Big thanks to all the musicians who didn’t let a downpour stop them from sharing their passion and energy. They turned what could’ve been a washout into a day to remember.
