<h3>Event Information</h3>
Caldwell Porchfest 2026 Saturday, September 12, 2026 Caldwell, New Jersey 40+ performers | 14 porches | Rock ’n’ Joe | Grover Cleveland Park Headliner: Radio 506
The streets, porches and parks of Caldwell will once again come alive with music as Caldwell Porchfest returns Saturday, September 12, 2026, bringing more than 40 performers to locations throughout the community for one of the town’s most anticipated annual events.
Caldwell Porchfest transforms neighborhood porches and gathering places into live music stages, giving residents and visitors the opportunity to walk through town and experience an eclectic lineup of local and regional musicians throughout the day.
This year’s event will feature performances at 14 porch locations, along with music at Rock ’n’ Joe Coffee Shop and Grover Cleveland Park. The day will culminate at Grover Cleveland Park with Radio 506, a longtime local band whose members call Caldwell home, headlining the event.
Now a signature community event, Caldwell Porchfest has grown into a celebration that showcases performers across a wide variety of musical styles and generations. Attendees can build their own itinerary, moving from porch to porch throughout the day to discover new artists, reconnect with favorite performers and enjoy Caldwell’s walkable neighborhoods, downtown and public spaces.
The event is made possible through the generosity of its porch hosts, performers, volunteers, sponsors and community partners, whose support allows Caldwell Porchfest to continue its mission of bringing people together through music while giving back to the community. 
The committee is especially grateful for the ongoing support of The Rotary Club of the Caldwells and The Graphics Connection, Inc., whose contributions and commitment to the community help make Caldwell Porchfest possible. The Rotary Club of the Caldwells has been a valued community partner, supporting the event and its mission of giving back to Caldwell and beyond, while The Graphics Connection, Inc. provides creative and marketing support that helps bring the event to life and connect Porchfest with the community.
This year's sponsors include:

This year, however, the committee is also grateful to have the contribution of <a href="https://bravitas.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Bravitas Group</a> as its highest-level Rock Star Sponsor. The Bravitas Group is a real estate development and philanthropic firm based in Montclair, New Jersey, founded by Robert H. (Bob) Silver and Rhonda A. Silver in 2006. It has made a lasting impact on Caldwell, helping transform the landscape of our downtown through the beautiful renovation and preservation of two historic buildings — The Grover House and The Wilson — that are now home to countless fantastic businesses serving our community. Their continued commitment to investing in Caldwell, the community we all love, makes their support of Porchfest especially meaningful.
Proceeds generated through Caldwell Porchfest sponsorships and merchandise help support the continuation of the event, and community projects and initiatives; so 100% of the event’s profits are returned to the Caldwell community. Previous support has already helped fund (fittingly) a brand-new sound system for the Caldwell Green, thus expanding opportunities for outdoor community programming and events. It will be installed this year in coordination with the Borough's new Civic Center project at the former Public Library site.

An Essex County home inspector has built a free website that lets anyone look up the public records behind a New Jersey property &mdash; building permits, flood zones, fire history, property taxes, and more &mdash; by typing in an address.
The site, Permit &amp; Parcel (oprasearch.app), covers all 564 New Jersey municipalities and pulls only from official sources: state and county databases, FEMA flood maps, and the towns' own municipal codes. There's no account, no email capture, and no cost.
"I kept watching buyers fall in love with a house before anyone checked the paper trail &mdash; the open permits, the flood zone, what the town actually requires when a home changes hands," said Leo Betancor, a Certified Master Inspector based in Cedar Grove and the founder of the site. "All of that is public record. It just wasn't in one place anyone could actually use."
Alongside the main lookup, the site includes free single-purpose tools: a lead-safe inspection lookup showing which of the two state-required inspection methods each town uses under New Jersey's lead paint law, a searchable directory of every DCA-certified lead evaluation and abatement contractor sorted by distance, a fire-incident map built from more than 40 years of state fire records, and a radon map covering every municipality.
A companion site, njflood.zone, gives instant FEMA flood-zone answers for any New Jersey address &mdash; built after the federal government shutdown left FEMA's own map site unreliable &mdash; running on the site's own servers with the complete flood map data for the state loaded locally.
The project was recently featured in <a href="https://www.tapinto.net/towns/east-hanover-slash-florham-park/columns/at-home-with-holly/articles/deep-dive-conversations-what-the-house-won-t-tell-you" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">TAPinto</a>'s "At Home with Holly" column. Both sites are free at <a href="https://oprasearch.app" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">oprasearch.app</a> and <a href="https://njflood.zone" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">njflood.zone</a>.
