Dorchester’s annual free porchfest-style music festival in the Ashmont-Adams neighborhood, hosted by Greater Ashmont Main Street.


Dorchfest was founded in 2022 with the express purpose of bringing diverse musical acts to the Ashmont Adams neighborhood of Dorchester. In the first year, more than 3,000 people rode the red line or buses, bicycled, walked and drove to the neighborhood to enjoy the 45 bands that performed on porches, yards, parking lots and patios throughout the neighborhood.


Dorchfest differs from other porchfest-style celebrations in one critical way: We pay our performers. We believe that musicians bring a massive benefit to our community. By paying our musicians, we ensure that the performers who play at Dorchfest are high quality, diverse and enjoyable for the audience.
