WCNY’s new half-hour documentary, “Porchfest: Neighbor to Neighbor, Song to Song,” explores the history and evolution of Porchfest, a celebration of community through music that began on the porches of Ithaca’s Fall Creek and Northside neighborhoods in 2007. What started as a neighborhood gathering has grown into a movement that has spread across the country and around the world.
Premieres Saturday, Sept. 19 at 6:30 p.m. & Sunday, Sept. 20 at 7:30 p.m. on WCNY and WSKG
