Sharon Porchfest (Re-imagined) 2020 will take place on September 13, 2020.
Despite social distancing restrictions, Sharon Porchfest can take place (with some modifications) while still adhering to our original goals:
- create a day of public celebration.
- make the community stronger because neighbors get to know each other as people.
- foster a broader sense of cohesion and shared interest.
- showcase the diversity of our town.
Musicians, artists and a juggler will be performing and displaying their work outdoors at homes around Sharon from 1-5pm on Sunday, September 13. We ask that everyone respect social distancing guidelines are in place in September (i.e. avoid large groups, wear masks, and stay at least six feet apart). There will be no bathroom facilities available, no food will be served, and event will be cancelled if it rains.
