Rock Hall’s historic Main Street will come alive with sights and sounds on Sunday, May 24 as the town presents PorchFest 2026.
Five “porch” stages, all within easy walking distance along Main Street, will host consecutive live music shows, starting at 12 noon, and with the last show beginning at 4 p.m.
PorchFest is free to the public, with lots of free parking near Main Street, and visitors will enjoy a leisurely block-long stroll as the festivities travel from one stage to the next. Along the way, there will be time to explore the town’s intriguing shops, and there will be lots to eat and drink from our local merchants. All you really need to enjoy PorchFest are comfortable shoes, a lawn chair perhaps, and an appetite for good music.
The musical lineup:
11 am – Rock Hall Village Gazebo (Main St. & Rock Hall Ave.) – Ashley Chapa, contemporary and classic country.
12 noon – The Brick House (5778 Main St.) – Jay Yerkes, familiar blues, rock, folk repertoire.
1 p.m. – Village Quilting (5701 Main St.) – Kiara Vos, American standards and show tunes.
2 p.m. – Java Rock (Main St. & Sharp St.) – Joe Dalto, nostalgia, humor and audience interaction.
3 p.m. – The Mainstay (753 Main St., back bar will be open), The Singing Captains, songs you know and love.
It all adds up to a festive Memorial Day weekend get-together on the friendliest Main Street on the Eastern Shore.
PorchFest is made possible with help from the Kent Cultural Alliance, Main Street Rock Hall, and the visitors and locals who patronize our businesses and support our town. For more information, check out Rock Hall Porch-Fest on Facebook.
