Since many of our 4th of July traditions are canceled this year including the city sponsored celebration at UMD,College Park Arts Exchange is planning a Porch Fest for College Park on July 4th – PorchFourth!

Watch this space for a Schedule of Acts and Locations. There are 3 ways to be involved:

Perform – anyone who can perform safely distanced (or maybe you have a family band?!) is welcome to participate.  Let us know by filling out this form.

Host – we will assign you (or you can request) musicians to perform in your yard.  All you would need to provide is possibly an outdoor outlet.  Bonus points for being on the Trolley Trail!  Sign up here.

Attend – come out and stroll around the neighborhood and enjoy local music.  We will publish a schedule so you can plan your route.    We ask that you observe physical distancing at all times, wear your mask, and bring your own blanket or chairs.  The Old Parish House will be a music location (please plan ahead and use your bathroom at home before attending PorchFourth events!)

Let’s celebrate our talented community!  Contact info@cpae.org with any questions.
