The sounds of jazz, folk and classic rock wafted through the warm fall air on Saturday as Lexington celebrated its second annual Porchfest. You could also catch some Bollywood music, Bulgarian folk tunes, Korean pungmul, 80s pop, surfer rock, Memphis blues, and this being Lexington, some Colonial dancing and drinking songs. Some hosts graciously served coffee or beer and light snacks, and an ice cream truck pulled up in front of one of the central porches to the delight of the kids. The day ended with a Beatles cover band playing the full Abbey Road album — very convincingly — for an audience gathered on picnic blankets and lawn chairs in front of the Stone Building. Can’t wait till next year!
