Last year, over 50 neighbors opened up their porches and hosted hundreds of Dormont family, friends and neighbors as official stops for Dormont’s first-ever Community Porch Crawl: PORCHMONT. The whole Borough felt alive as jolly groups of friends (both old and new) meandered through the streets, popping on and off porches, getting to know their neighbors. It was a truly joyous, quirky, beautiful night of community building.
Although host registration is now closed and hosts finalized, there’s an even better role for you – a PORCH sitter! Talk to your family and friends – and make your plans now for your path this Saturday, Sept. 26.
*Volunteer by emailing hrc@boro.dormont.pa.us
*And spread the word! Share Porchmont posts on Social Media. Start talking to your family and friends. Recruit your neighbors and make sure your block is the place to be on Saturday Sept. 26th.
Is this the first ime you’ve heard of Porchmont? Well, think Halloween meets the House Tour. Think block party with a twist. Think summertime porch hang, but bigger and better and filled with friends you haven’t met yet!
On Saturday September 26th, from 5pm – 9pm, folks around Dormont will open up their porches for a full-on community porch hang. Neighbors will cruise the sidewalks of Dormont, popping onto porches, discovering new parts of the community, connecting with old friends, and making some new ones.
Interested in hosting a stop on the porch crawl, but not sure what that means? It’s up to YOU Dormont!
Whip up a bunch of your famous lemonade and put out some cookies. Host a little jam session on your porch. Feeling artsy? Set out some arts and crafts or set up an impromptu exhibition. Share seeds, produce or flowers from your garden. Or there is the classic porch hang – some drinks, chill vibes and great conversation – honestly, it’s hard to improve on that.
Porch is a state of mind.

What is the Dormont Human Relations Commission (DHRC)?
In 2021 Dormont Borough Council passed a non-discrimination ordinance to ensure all Dormont residents can fully enjoy the Borough without discrimination, in that they are provided with equal opportunity and access to employment, housing, commercial property, and public accommodation regardless of race, color, national origin, immigration status, ancestry, religious creed, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, veteran’s status, marital status, familial status, genetic information, handicap or disability, or use of an assistance animal.
The Dormont Human Relations Commission, which has 5 seats open to Dormont residents, was created by this ordinance. The Commission is empowered to collect and mediate submitted discrimination complaints; when applicable refer complaints to appropriate social, civic, or governmental agencies for further action; and provide education and outreach to the community on relevant issues.
In doing so, the Commission is designed to create a more welcoming and equitable Borough for all residents, present and future.
