Announcing Porches of Sumter 2025
Friday October 10
Porches of Sumter is a magical fall evening when our historic district comes alive with music, laughter, and local flavor. Homeowners open their yards or porches to host local businesses who serve complimentary hors d’oeuvres and refreshments to attendees — all while neighbors and visitors stroll, sip, and soak in the beauty of our community.
This year, we’re going bigger than ever — adding a live concert with tasteful music, a charming artisan market, and new VIP experiences to elevate the evening even more.
Back & Better than ever
