The Cooper-Young Community Association is excited to announce that it will be bringing back the Cooper-Young Porchfest on Saturday, April 18, 2026 from noon to 6 p.m. PLEASE NOTE – DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER PORCHFEST IS BEING HELD SUNDAY, APRIL 19, 12-6:00 PM! Staged on the eclectic porches of our historic neighborhood, this all-volunteer event will feature an eclectic mix of bands playing on residents’ front porches, and is intended to be a grassroots celebration of spring, music, and Cooper-Young.

The 2026 CY Porchfest map & schedule is below! This is the newly updated map with changes due to the date being pushed back for inclement weather. Please note this map is subject to change! You’ll be able to save the map to photos on your phone to be able to easily access, or come by our booth at the gazebo for a printed map (while they last) and to buy Porchfest shirts and other merch.
If you’re coming to Porchfest — great! We’re happy you’ll be visiting Cooper-Young! All of the musicians are volunteering so bring cash to tip them or do so through Venmo/CashApp through the handles listed on the map. While you’re in Cooper-Young, please visit our many bars and restaurants to dine in or take out food, and check out our cute local shops too! Please tag your Porchfest posts with #cyporchfest – we wanna see what everyone’s up to that day!
To kick everything off, we’re bringing back our Community Yard Sale! Due to Porchfest moving to Sunday, our neighborhood yard sales will now take place across both days. A few hosts will still hold their sales on Saturday, while the majority are shifting to Sunday to align with the festival. If you’re planning to shop, it’s worth coming out both days to catch everything. We appreciate everyone’s flexibility and look forward to a great weekend in the neighborhood. There are printed yard sale maps in a box outside our office at 2298 Young Ave.
