About this Event

Porch Stomp is excited to announce plans for our annual festival! Porch Stomp 2021 will take place on June 26th. Set on the beautiful greenery of Governors Island, Porch Stomp invites folk bands, artists, and performing arts organizations to use the historic porches of Nolan Park as a space for performance and education, highlighting artistry ranging from traditional folk to old-time, blues, roots, bluegrass and Americana.

Porch Stomp is a volunteer-run, free music celebration produced in association with Make Music New York, a not-for-profit that connects music makers, fans and the public spaces of New York City. Unlike typical music festivals, anyone can take part in Porch Stomp, and all events are free and open to the public. Now in its seventh year, Porch Stomp offers unique performance and educational opportunities, including concerts, workshops and open jams. Each “stage” or porch is curated and produced by an arts organization or local venue that supports traditional arts, and will represent a specific folk community in New York City. 2021 partners will include Cowgirl Seahorse, Music Country, Sunny’s Bar, Live Muzic Mondayz, and more.

Porch Stomp is committed to ensuring the health and safety of its performers and audience members. Here are some of the steps that we are taking to make sure that our festival happens safely:

Reducing the number of stages and performers (as compared to Porch Stomp 2019)

Limiting the total number of people at each stage

Safety protocol set in place by Governors Island include:

Capacity on Governors Island ferries will be limited during the 2021 season to allow for social distancing. A new ticket reservation system is in place to manage capacity on ferries. Visitors are required to reserve tickets in advance and must depart on their selected return ferry. Tickets are available now with more becoming available on a daily rolling basis. Here is the link to purchase tickets: https://www.govisland.com/visit-the-island/ferry

Requiring visitors to wear face coverings while boarding and riding the ferry and while on the Island

Limiting visitors' time on the Island to 5 hours

Increased cleaning procedures and schedules in all restrooms, aboard ferries, and in high-touch, high-traffic areas across the Island

Enhanced health and safety protocols at all food and drink vending locations

Installing hand sanitizer and hand washing stations throughout the Island

We are open to other suggestions around how to best ensure the safety of our community. Please reach out to us at [email protected].
