Photos cannot do justice to the sites, sounds, community, and variety of this year’s Newton PorchFest. The afternoon of June 1 offered 121 performances across 70 porches and driveways in Auburndale, Lower Falls, and Waban. The event was sponsored by The Village Bank, Newton Community Pride, and Jack’s Abby (which provided beer, soft drinks, and swag).
