MT. MORRIS — Musicians performed and visitors persevered through the rain to enjoy free live music in the Village of Mt. Morris at the Seventh Annual Encore! PorchFest Saturday, June 8. While the weather was damp, the spirits were not dampened with 16 musical choices scheduled at 12 venues around Mt. Morris, only a few were unable to perform. Many favorites played 45-minute sets on community porches and lawns throughout the festival area, and several moved to inside locations. Visitors selected their choice of music from the schedule and map, then walked, rode bicycles, drove ATVs and their cars, parking close enough to enjoy the day. PorchFest lived up to the promise of being an ultimate grassroots community music festival, as umbrellas were certainly a popular accessory for the day. Encore! Mt. Morris PorchFest is held annually on the second Saturday in June. Encore! Mt. Morris hopes to see you next year on Saturday, June 14, 2025 for this growing event!
