GOVERNORS ISLAND — PORCH STOMP, AN annual folk music and dance festival in its 13th year, returns to Governors Island Saturday, June 20.
The free, volunteer-run one day festival brings hundreds of folk music acts to 21 stages across the island for a celebration of New York’s folk music and dance community. Each stage is hosted by a different venue or organization, including Brooklyn institutions Sunny’s Bar, Jalopy Theater and Threes Brewing. There will also be several jams and sing-alongs that are open to the public, as well as a contra dance.
Attendees can get to the festival by taking the Governors Island Ferry from Lower Manhattan or the NYC Ferry on the South Brooklyn Route from Wall Street/Pier 11, Atlantic Avenue/BBP Pier 6 or Red Hook. Reservations on the Governors Island Ferry are encouraged but not required, as ferries fill up.
