Dorchester’s porch fest-style celebration, Dorchfest, returns for a third year on Sat., June 1, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Ashmont-Adams section of the neighborhood. Over 30 bands will perform at 20 locations— mainly porches, patios, parking lots, and yards.

While other celebrations of this type exist throughout the city, Dorchfest is unique because the performers are paid. In addition to compensating artists, the Ashmont Adams Neighborhood Association and Greater Ashmont Main Streets work diligently to be the most diverse porch fest in all of Boston.

This year’s acts include hip-hop from Daniel Laurent and Jeff 2x, Blues with the Willie J. Laws Band, traditional West African Music from Sidy Maiga, and lo-fi indie rock from Ivydale.

Dorchfest is free and open to all, but attendees can donate online to help defray the costs of paying the performers. Those interested in volunteering for at least 30 minutes on June 1 can sign up here. The site has all the info you need to plan your day, including notes on performance times and locations.
