On the last Saturday in October each year, Vicksburg’s Fostoria neighborhood comes alive, buzzing with music, food and local artisans selling their wares.

The fourth-annual Porchfest celebration is officially set for Oct. 29, with special headliners The Chill and a variety of new vendors joining the mix. The event will begin at 11 a.m. and last until 7 p.m., with vendor booths and live music on porches in the 2300 through 2500 blocks of Drummond Street in midtown Vicksburg.

In addition to live local music, this family friendly free event features a silent auction, food, artisans, beer and wine, children’s activities, a Halloween costume competition and more.

“It’s a safe, friendly, family event, and everyone’s invited,” said Joe Giambrone, Fostoria Neighborhood Association President. “We encourage everyone to come out and eat and drink and enjoy the neighborhood.”

The Fostoria Neighborhood Association is also paying special attention to four-legged friends this year, adding special watering stations for dogs attending Porchfest with their humans.
