Highlands Porchfest is a free-to-attend event, organized and presented by CLE each year for our beloved mountain community. The festival’s goals are to:
Support local and regional musicians by showcasing their talents to the community.
Support local business and boost local revenue by hosting musicians at various businesses.
Encourage diverse and inclusive community culture by engaging musical and attendance participation for all demographic groups in our community.
Keep it local: Porchfest is organized by CLE’s Board of Directors, staff, and volunteers. No outside event producers or marketing agencies are commissioned.
Support CLE’s mission of providing opportunities for life gratification and enrichment through stimulating programs and experiences.
