Porchfest brings the community together in Old East Hill

On Saturday afternoon, 65 venues welcomed festival-goers throughout East Hill and Downtown Belleville at Porchfest. A large crowd gathered for the Glanmore National Historic Site opening ceremony. Greetings from event organizer and Belleville Rotarian Sam Brady, Bay of Quinte MPP Tyler Allsop, and Belleville Councillor Garnet Thompson.  Porchfest, now in its 16th year, was brought to Belleville in 2009 by founders Ken Hudson and Lucinda Pritchard after they discovered Porch Fest in New York
