The Towanda Porchfest is a nonprofit group that was incorporated in 2024 to host the Annual Towanda Porchfest Event held in September. The mission of Towanda Porchfest is to promote community engagement through music, arts, and cultural events, foster local talent and creativity for artists, and enhance neighborhood connections in Towanda.

In 2026, the Towanda Porchfest group is offering a one-time $1,000 Scholarship to a Towanda High School Senior that shares the values of the Towanda Porchfest Mission either through their musical or artistic talents or demonstrates how they have served or improved our community.
