The underlying concept behind Sanford Porchfest is satisfyingly unfussy and harks back to the home-brewed roots of a lot of folk, bluegrass and country music traditions: Play some songs on a porch to a casual group of friends and family.

And yet, this is a formula that netted Sanford Porchfest the winning spot for “Best Music Festival” in last year’s Best of Orlando® Readers Poll. Now it’s time to get porchy once again, as 70 bands play 18 residential porches and sundry other spots in the historic downtown area.

Make sure to give some extra eartime that afternoon to Distant Stations, Groove Slayers, Hannah Stokes Band, Prison Wine and Oak Hill Drifters.

11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 22, sanfordporchfest.org, free.
