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 make more resilient and to bring our community together.
The following photos were taken two days after the tornado in Skinker DeBaliviere – the neighborhood that hosts PorchFest – with the exception of the photo of lion in the rubble, which was taken in the adjacent Central West End neighborhood.
