Porchfest Boonville 2026: A Community That Showed Up
On Saturday, August 29, 2026, Porchfest returned to Boonville for another day of live music, local vendors, food, creativity, and community.
From the Village Green and Erwin Library area to the Hulbert House, performers, vendors, volunteers, local businesses, families, and visitors came together throughout the day and helped make Porchfest Boonville 2026 a success.
For Stoney Shire, events like Porchfest are about more than putting together a day of entertainment. They are about creating opportunities.
They give musicians a place to perform, makers and small businesses an opportunity to showcase what they do, and the community another reason to get out, explore town, meet new people, and support the talent and businesses that exist right here in our area.
None of that happens without people willing to participate.

Thank you for investing in something that brings people together and creates opportunities for local performers, vendors, makers, small businesses, and our community.
We encourage everyone to remember and support the businesses and organizations that continue to support events and opportunities within our communities.
Thank You to Our Vendors, Makers & Small Businesses
Thank you to every vendor, artist, maker, crafter, food vendor, small business, and informational booth that participated this year.
For many of these individuals and businesses, events like Porchfest are more than just another place to set up for the day. They are an opportunity to introduce their work to new people, make sales, build connections, and continue growing something they have worked hard to create.
Every purchase, conversation, business card taken, and new connection can make a difference for someone working to turn their skills, creativity, or ideas into something more.
Our Volunteers & Community Partners
There is also an incredible amount of work that happens before the first vendor sets up and after the last performance ends.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time to help with setup, vendor placement, cleanup, garbage and recycling, event coordination, promotion, safety, and all of the smaller jobs throughout the day that kept everything moving.
We also appreciate the Village of Boonville, Erwin Library, Hulbert House, our local businesses, organizations, property owners, and everyone else who worked with us and helped make Porchfest possible.
Most Importantly, Thank You for Showing Up
Whether you spent the entire day with us or stopped by for an hour, thank you.
If you listened to a performer, tipped a musician, purchased something from a vendor, grabbed something to eat, visited one of our local businesses, brought your family downtown, told a friend about the event, or simply walked around and enjoyed what was happening, you played a part in Porchfest.
That participation is what turns an event into something meaningful.
Porchfest Boonville is just one part of what we are working to build through Stoney Shire.
Our goal is to continue creating opportunities that connect local talent, makers, musicians, small businesses, families, and communities while giving more people a place to learn, create, connect, buy, sell, trade, and showcase what they can do.
Every event also teaches us something. We saw things that worked extremely well this year, areas where we can improve, and new opportunities we can build upon moving forward.
Porchfest Boonville 2026 belonged to everyone who participated in it.
To our performers, sponsors, vendors, volunteers, community partners, local businesses, residents, and everyone who traveled into Boonville to spend the day with us, thank you for showing up and being part of it.
We look forward to continuing to build more opportunities together.
