Crowds took over the streets of Belleville’s East Hill neighbourhood on Saturday afternoon for the annual Porchfest music festival.
The event, organized by the Rotary Club of Belleville, drew in large crowds that wandered the streets to take in the many musical performances being held on the front porches of the area’s homes.
Some of the musicians playing were The Impish Grins, Dave Bush and the River Valley Riders, and Bleasdell Rock.
Later in the afternoon the event moved into downtown, as musical acts continued there into the evening.
You can see photos of the event below.
