The SOFI Battle of the Bands
The SOFI Battle of the Bands will take place on Sunday, July 28th from 11am-6pm
We will have 2nd Street blocked from Randolph to School and Franklin Street blocked between 2nd and 3rd.
There will be 3 stages on the street with many of your favorite (14+) Porchfest-Famed bands playing throughout the day.
Food trucks, wine, beer and non alcoholic drinks will be available for purchase. All 2nd Street shops will be open for business.
Additional bands will be playing at The Uptown, Folklore and other locations throughout downtown.
This is a free event and family friendly – the Napa SOFI District is happy to host this event in lieu of Porchfest this year.
We hope to see you rockin’ on 2nd Street!
