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.

“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.”
