We are eagerly anticipating the seventh annual Conference on the Front Porch Oct. 5 and 6, which kicks off with dinner at the Splinter Creek Community Porch!
The conference aims to celebrate all that the front porch represents – both from a literal as well as a metaphorical perspective. A slower pace, a time when neighbors visited in their front yards, the music, food, and stories of a bygone era. So many important things in the South happen on, or around, a front porch. The front porch has come to be recognized as one of the key elements in sustaining actual community in an increasingly online existence.
The two-day gathering features speakers, dinners, live music, literature, bonfires, and stories. This year's conference will kickoff with a dinner, by Taylor's Grit restaurant, at Splinter Creek's Community Porch on Thursday, Oct. 5.
Registration price for the conference weekend is $485 and includes tickets to all lectures and panels, five meals, concerts, field dinners, and wine tastings. The conference is limited to the first 200 people. Purchase tickets here, and we can't wait to see you in the fall!
