Experience Live Music, Local Food And Drinks

The Noblesville Front Porch Music Fest returns for its third year on Aug. 26, 2023, with local musicians playing live sets from 2–6:30 p.m.

“Front Porch Music Festival gives people who love great music and food – and beer – the chance to experience the special community and people of downtown Noblesville,” said Ken Bubp, co-creator of the event. “In a world where we are so often isolated from each other, this event allows people to come together and support live, local music.

Admission is free for the outdoor event, which will span downtown Noblesville’s historic Logan Street. Twenty bands will play on 12 different porches in the community, performing music of various genres.

Attendees can purchase food from 9th Street Bistro, Debbie’s Daughters Bakery and Kona Ice during the event. Primeval Brewing, recipient of the U.S. Open Beer Championship gold medal, will be serving its signature beers.

Noblesville Front Porch Music Fest co-creator Jason Pearson looks forward to seeing the community embrace local music and visit the variety of businesses and restaurants on the historic courthouse square in downtown Noblesville.

“Nowhere else can you sit under the trees on a historic brick street and enjoy a wide variety of music and true community like this. Our guests continue to tell us this is their favorite event of the year,” said Pearson. “Don’t miss this year’s newest members of the Front Porch Music Fest family, Sweet Poison Victim and Rod & Tina Rose.”

  • The Long Arm
