Santa Fe Portalfest brings you New Mexico's second annual neighborhood porch music festival on August 12, 2023. Let’s make it even bigger & better than last year! Portalfest is a free, DIY, independent music festival hosted on portales, driveways, and yards in an eight-block radius in the La Madera/Alto Park neighborhood. In addition to live music, Portalfest hosts a local art market, community wellness area, and food vendors.

Last year we were proud to host 27 bands across 5 stages, an art market with 6 vendors, and food trucks down Lopez Street. We raised money through tip jars and a raffle. This year, we cannot wait to bring you an even bigger, more diverse lineup of musicians, performers, and vendors from across New Mexico. To do that, we need money! Our fundraising priority is to pay our talent. Beyond that, we would love to pay our organizers a stipend for their time, pay a land tax to a local indigenous organization, and cover the cost of supplies, rentals, and equipment for the festival.
