Porchfest tells the story of how a handful of Washington DC neighbors helped realize their collective desire to come together in an unforgettable effort to build upon their growing sense of community. The Porchfest story is told from the porches and sidewalks of Mount Pleasant’s Hobart Street, locations that served as stages to share arts and culture with the community during the 2011 Porchfest. Yet the film explores broader, yet still simple themes, like the importance of knowing one’s neighbor, particularly in the city. Porchfest aims to provoke and inspire residents across our city to think creatively about how they can bring their own block together.
