Historic Roser Park Hosts Tour of Homes & Porchfest Events Benefitting Local Musicians

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Feb. 1, 2022 - PRLog -- For the first time, the Historic Roser Park Neighborhood Association is combining its Tour of Homes event with its newest event, Porchfest. In the morning, visitors will have the opportunity to tour the inside of six homes with architectural styles ranging from Spanish Revival to Craftsman to Dutch Colonial for a ticketed price.

Tickets can be purchased for $15 at historicroserpark.org in advance, or for $20 on the day of the tour, when tickets will be sold by the Booker Creek footbridge across from the intersection of Prospect Court South and Roser Park Drive S. Free parking is available at the west Bayfront garage (726 7th Ave. S., St. Petersburg). Golf cart service and maps will be provided, making it convenient either to ride or walk to tour stops.

Porchfest is a community-based music festival staged in neighborhoods across the country. The HRPNA is bringing to St. Pete for the second year, combining local musicians and businesses. Guests will stroll the winding, enchanted streets of Historic Roser Park, as local musicians play from the front porches and yards of various homes. Sponsorships support local musicians who are struggling during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the Historic Roser Park Neighborhood Association.

This year's musician line-up includes The Cheaters, Hot Tonic, Kerry Courtney Band, Kristopher James, Rebekah Pulley, Greg Roy, Deb Hunseder from Halcyon, LCNV, and more.
