Newnan PorchFest scheduled to launch on May 31
UPDATED: 4/21/25 … From Special Reports
The inaugural Newnan PorchFest is set to debut on May 31, 2025, bringing a full day of live music, local creativity, and community spirit.
Historic homes and inviting porches in the College-Temple Historic District will serve as the stage for this unforgettable event, running from Noon to 9 p.m. across the heart of Downtown Newnan.
PorchFest is a free, family-friendly event where porches transform into stages and streets become gathering spaces for music lovers and neighbors alike. This first-ever festival will feature a lineup of talented musicians from various genres, showcasing the rich musical diversity of the region. Newnan PorchFest benefits The Newnan-Coweta History Center, which will host a garden tour in the neighborhood.
“The Newnan PorchFest is a way to bring our community together through the universal language of music,” said Melody Kiser, the event’s primary organizer. “We’re excited to launch this new tradition and create an exciting opportunity to establish Newnan as a vibrant music destination.”
The 2025 edition will introduce local food and art vendors, children’s activities, an art auction, a historic garden tour, over 20 musicians and bands, and more, ensuring there is something for the whole family.
Two VIP experiences are available, hosted by The Newnan-Coweta History Center and The Alamo. Of course, no PorchFest would be complete without four-legged friends—dogs are not only welcome but encouraged to join in the festivities!
