ST. LOUIS, MO – The Skinker DeBaliviere neighborhood will come alive on Sunday, September 21, 2025, as PorchFestSTL 2025 transforms the community into an open-air music festival. This free, family-friendly event runs from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM and will feature over 50 local bands performing on more than 35 porch stages.

The heart of PorchFestSTL 2025 is community connection. Residents open their porches as stages while attendees stroll house-to-house, discovering a wide variety of genres—from classic rock and folk to electronic music and even a women’s chorus. Both seasoned performers and up-and-coming artists are included, making the festival a platform for St. Louis’s diverse music scene.

The afternoon of porch performances will conclude with a headline show at Greg Freeman Park (6008 Kingsbury Avenue), bringing neighbors and visitors together for a traditional festival finale.

Organized by the Skinker-Debaliviere Community Council and supported by dedicated volunteers, PorchFestSTL continues to grow each year, drawing attendees from across the region. The event takes place rain or shine, encouraging families and friends to walk, bike, or scooter between stages for the full experience.

To help festivalgoers plan, a performance schedule, porch map, and official Spotify playlist are available on the PorchFestSTL website. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs for comfort while enjoying the performances.

With its grassroots spirit and eclectic lineup, PorchFestSTL 2025 highlights both the creative energy of local musicians and the strong sense of community in St. Louis.
