Project Atchison - Porchfest 2027

Goal: $6,000.00

Specific Need

Atchison Porchfest is a FREE, walkable music festival organized by Project Atchison featuring more than 20 regional bands performing on historic front porches. It takes $6,000 to run this beloved event each year, and many of those funds come from All Aboard Atchison Match Day.

At Porchfest this year, 1,000 members of the Atchison community gathered along brick-lined 4th Street to enjoy food trucks, family-friendly fun, and an easygoing atmosphere. At it's core, Porchfest ignites Atchison community spirit and showcases our amazing local musical and artistic talent.

This Match Day we ask for your help to cover costs for Porchfest 2027. Every donation - big or small - counts!

Mission

Our mission is to create a more enjoyable and promising Atchison for today and future generations. We want to make Atchison a better place to live!

History

Founded in May of 2015, Project Atchison was initially formed as a Facebook group called "Young Atchison Making a Difference." Our group’s spirit of volunteerism and community pride soon attracted over a thousand Facebook group members and a regular monthly meetings. In order to encourage members of all ages, our name was changed to Project Atchison and non-profit status was filed in October of 2015.
