A warm summer breeze, the smell of salt in the air, and the sweet sound of live music drifting through the historic streets of St. Andrews. 

Welcome to Play Music on the Porch Day, where musicians of all kinds come together to fill the neighborhood with rhythm, soul, and a whole lot of good vibes.

What is Play Music on the Porch Day?

Held on August 30, 2025, this event is part of a global movement encouraging people to bring music back to its roots—right to their front porches. 

In St. Andrews, a beloved waterfront district in Panama City, this means a day of spontaneous concerts, lively performances, and an open invitation to music lovers of all kinds to stroll, listen, and even join in.

From bluegrass and folk to jazz and acoustic rock, you’ll find every genre represented. Street corners turn into stages, café patios transform into jam sessions, and front porches become intimate concert venues where locals and visitors alike gather to celebrate the magic of live music.

Why You Should Experience It

There’s something special about an event that feels so effortless yet so full of life. Play Music on the Porch Day isn’t about big stages or fancy equipment—it’s about community, connection, and the pure joy of making and listening to music.

It’s the kind of event where you might start your day with a quiet cup of coffee, only to end up dancing on a dock to the sounds of a fiddle player you just met. 

It’s a chance to slow down, soak in the charm of St. Andrews, and enjoy the simple pleasure of live music in a beautiful setting.
