Some rain and gray skies were not enough to stop Winchester Porchfest this year!
Affordable Butter, Porchfish, Big Cy and the Early Bird Specials, and Diver9 rocked the Griffin Terrace on June 14. This year, the finale was held at the Griffin Terrace with local rock cover band Diver9 performing.
We are so excited to expand our Youth Art this year highlighting work by over 50 students from Winchester's Public Schools, Studio on the Common, Winchester Community Music School, and Winchester School of Chinese Culture. The Winchester Public School exhibit is curated by Visual Art Department Chair, Jennifer Levatino. This exhibit is made possible by a generous grant from The Winchester Foundation for Educational Excellence (WFEE). We are thrilled that WFEE has funded this exhibit for a second year and expanded it so that more work can be included. Special thanks to Anna Paradis, Dean of Student Life at the Winchester High School for advocating for our young artists. New, this year, Studio on the Common, Winchester School of Chinese Culture, and Winchester Community Music School sponsored tiles are showcasing student work from their schools. The Winchester Community Music School is featuring two young learners, along with an adult learner, via Hoverlay, our augmented reality platform. Scan the QR code on the Mt. Vernon Street tile near the Aberjona River to enjoy their performances. All sidewalk tiles are designed by artist Marissa Mazzone. Stroll through the Cultural District to see all our 2024 tiles, including our local business sponsored tiles featuring local photographers curated by the Griffin Museum.
After two rescheduled dates, the Winchester Chamber of Commerce and the Cultural District were rewarded with a beautiful day for our first beer garden of the season. Local band, Sonic Honey, performed while people congregated and kids played games on the Griffin Terrace. This event was sponsored in part by the Winchester Cultural Council.
