PORCH STOMP 2023

Getting There

Porch Stomp is set in the beautiful greenery of Governors Island's Nolan Park, located on the North East corner of the Island, as well as on other areas throughout the Island.  Getting there is one short ferry ride away! 

The Governors Island ferry runs on regular intervals from Manhattan and Brooklyn. Ferry tickets may be reserved in advance. In 2023, reservations are not required, but are encouraged as the ferries will fill up (note: if you are a Porch Stomp 2023 Artist, we STRONGLY encourage you to make a ferry reservation, so as not to miss your set time!). Visitors to the Island no longer need to choose a return time when booking ferry tickets – you may leave the Island on any ferry you choose. For more information about the Governors Island ferry and to make a reservation click HERE.
