Highland Square’s annual PorchRokr Music and Art Festival transforms the verandas of one of Akron’s most historic and eclectic neighborhoods into one-day art studios and concert venues. Thousands of locals and out-of-towners rock out to some 130 diverse musicians and artists, using both area residences and business establishments as their personal stage. The festival rotates each year among four sections of Highland Square to encourage spontaneous interaction among all its neighbors.

PorchRokr is Saturday, August 20, 2016. The PorchRokr Guitar Orchestra kicks off the festival at 10:30 with a tribute to David Bowie and Prince. Stick around for Byke, or make your way through the neighborhood to hear your favorite genre, band, or buddies rocking out. Bring some cash to tip the bands and buy some fan merch to show your appreciation and support.
