An outdoor neighborhood streetscape photograph showing Historic Kenwood's Bungalow Fest in St. Petersburg, Florida on Nov. 1, 2024. Captured from a low angle looking upward toward a bright blue sky, a green and white street sign reading "29 ST N" is mounted beneath an ornate black wrought-iron neighborhood marker topped with an oval emblem reading "HISTORIC KENWOOD." In the background, sunlight glints through the branches of a blossoming pink tabebuia tree towering over historic residential bungalow homes and lush green lawns under bright daytime sun. — Historic Kenwood’s Bungalow Fest in St. Petersburg, Florida on Nov. 1, 2024 Credit: cityofstpete / Flickr

There’s a different kind of house show happening this weekend in one of St. Pete’s neatest neighborhoods.

More than a dozen porches in Historic Kenwood host nearly three dozen sets from bands like folk-rock outfit Bite Size and the songwriter-cellist combo of Deb Ruby and Melissa Grady.

Born in the summer of 2022 to mark “Worldwide Play Music on the Porch Day,” organizers have since adapted, thankfully, to accommodate the weather in these parts. There’s no cover, but bring your own chairs and money to tip the talent which plays in a five-hour block kicking off at 1 p.m.

Porch Music Day in Historic Kenwood in St. Petersburg happens on Sunday, Nov. 15.
