2025 RED BANK PORCHFEST: YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE

 

By BRIAN DONOHUE

 

Click on the map above to explore the offerings and special bike routes at Red Bank Porchfest 2025.
 
It’s an event few towns – especially towns the size of Red Bank – could ever dream of pulling off. 

One hundred thirty seven 137 bands, from funk to rock to classical to Mariachi and Afro-Peruvian Jazz, on three dozen porches amid gloriously perfect fall weather. 

It’s the fourth annual Red Bank Porchfest, and it’s set to go down Saturday from noon to 6 pm.

There are special bike lanes being set up for folks to get around, a food truck and an artist alley (see photo) where visual artists can join the musicians in showing off their work.

And if you can’t make it, or you’re stuck in an airport or some godforsaken place that is not the greatest town in the greatest state in the greatest nation on earth, redbankgreen will be livestreaming the event from our Facebook page as we zip from porch to porch on the official hyperlocal news-scooter.

redbankgreen has all the info you need, including maps and schedules in mulitiple forms and formats right here. 

Scroll down and enjoy the show.
