What is Canada Day Porchfest?
Canada Day Porchfest combines the unique charm of Porchfest with the excitement of a traditional Canada Day celebration.
Throughout the day, front porches and community spaces become live music venues while families enjoy activities, contests, games, food, and entertainment across town.
Whether you're following the music from venue to venue or spending the afternoon with family and friends, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
One Community. One Celebration.
Canada Day Porchfest was created to bring our community together.
From local musicians and volunteers to businesses, sponsors, community groups, and residents, this festival showcases the people and spirit that make Vulcan special.
Come spend the day exploring town, supporting local talent, and celebrating Canada Day with your neighbours.
