What Ol Front Porch Music Festival does
Mission
The mission of the Ol Front Porch Music Festival, Inc. is to foster community spirit through an annual outdoor Music Festival featuring free, live music by a wide variety of performers, and providing an opportunity to discover and appreciate an assortment of musical genres and styles.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The two day Festival featuring a wide variety of music from over 25 bands was held October 3 and 4, 2025, and continued to be free of charge to all, thanks to fundraising events, generous sponsors and grants. In 2025, in addition to music, the Festival had a food park and village market available both days. The Ol Front Porch Music Festival (OFPMF ) awarded the Dottie Osmun Memorial Scholarship to a graduating senior at the local high school.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $18k to $30k (+65%).
