West Philly Porchfest is an annual DIY festival held in the City Of Brotherly Love since 2016. Having to skip last year for obvious reasons, Porchfest came back as strong as ever in 2021. These are some of the highlights from this year: Ellen Siberian Tiger, Twin Princess, Joy Ike, I Think Like Midnight and Philadelphia Women*s Slavic Ensemble.
