porchfest

Black Rock PorchFest is an annual community event that takes place throughout the Black Rock neighborhood of Bridgeport, CT.

Catherine has been involved since the event was founded in 2016 by Nicole Cassidy, taking on the lead role in 2020 and managing a team of volunteers who have organized this wholesome, free, and family-friendly neighborhood-wide block party with great success each year.

The event has continued to grow in scale, with close to 100 bands in 2023, and we have recently partnered with a local nonprofit, Park City Presents, who have begun taking on the lead role as of 2024.
