Hull Porchfest Supports Veterans at the Hull Lifesaving Museum

We are thrilled to announce that Hull PorchFest has donated $5,000 to support programs for Veterans at the Hull Lifesaving Museum! This generous check was presented by Susan Lynch, representing Hull PorchFest, in recognition of the vital work the museum does for our community's Veterans.

Hull PorchFest, a non-profit organization, celebrates local music while giving back to worthy causes. Each September, they transform the Kenberma neighborhood into a lively stage for 30+ bands, drawing music lovers of all ages.
