On May 16, 2025, the St. Louis region was struck by a devastating tornado. While not PorchFest is not a fundraiser for tornado relief, we believe that live music is a healing force that has the power to bring our community together.

The following photos were taken two days after the tornado in Skinker DeBaliviere and DeBaliviere Place – neighborhoods that host PorchFest – with the exception of the lion in the rubble taken in the adjacent Central West End neighborhood.
