T ucker Hill’s PorchFest

Mark your calendars for PorchFest—a unique live music festival hosted by Tucker Hill on Saturday, May 7, from 5 p.m. until dusk. This free event will feature musicians staged on several of Tucker Hill’s quaint front porches that surround the community’s central park area, known as Founders Square. The evening highlight is a concert on the lawn featuring Infinite Journey, a Dallas-based Journey tribute band who opened for Loverboy and Kool and the Gang at the 2014 Wildflower Festival in Richardson.

Tucker Hill’s event is modeled after the extremely successful PorchFest held annually in Franklin, Tennessee. Bands and acoustic singers will showcase their talent during PorchFest on residents’ front porches. Residents volunteer their porches as a way to support the local music scene and interact with their neighbors.

Porch band performances and all activities will begin at 5 p.m. Infinite Journey will be closing out the evening with a concert on the lawn beginning at 7 p.m. and concluding at dusk.

Now is the time to sign up for McKinney Community Concerts’ 2016-2017 season, including seven new shows starting Friday night, September 16. Having just concluded a successful series last month, MCCA is proud
