Porch Fest coming to Malden on June 11

  The first-ever Malden Porch Fest, a community-wide arts festival, kicks off on Saturday, June 11 across the city. Performers, hosts and volunteers are invited to sign up now.

  Funded with a start-up grant from the Malden Cultural Council, Porch Fest is a free, daylong community event that invites residents across the city to host artistic performances on their porches, yards and driveways. The festival is designed to celebrate the arts, foster community, build connections among neighbors and bring fun to Malden.
