South Wayne PorchFest Canceled Due To Coronavirus

WAYNE, PA — The annual event in which Wayne residents lend their porches and yards to musicians for open air music has been canceled.

According to organizers, the 2020 iteration of South Wayne PorchFest has been canceled.

"The health and safety of our community and musicians are primary," organizers said. "We must take a realistic view of a number of factors regarding Covid-19, South Wayne PorchFest’s date in September, the large number of attendees and musicians, the generosity and co-operation of our neighborhood, the continued presence of the infection, and the concerns regarding an even stronger recurrence in the fall."

Organizers said they do not want the popular event to be a "super-spreader" of the coronavirus.

While this year's event has been canceled, organizers said they plan to bring it back in 2021.

Next year's South Wayne PorchFest will be held on Saturday, Sept. 18, 2021.
