Newnan Porch Fest VIP Experience

Experience Porch Fest like an insider with the Newnan-Coweta History Center’s exclusive VIP Experience—your all-access pass to a day of music, history, and elevated hospitality. Begin your morning with a complimentary breakfast and mimosas before stepping into the “Opening Act” Pre-Party, where the energy builds in an intimate, curated setting. From there, enjoy a seamless festival day with reserved parking, private restrooms, and a collectible souvenir badge marking your VIP status.

As you explore the charm of Newnan’s historic homes, indulge in specialty cocktails at each stop, paired with exclusive musical performances designed just for VIP guests. Take a step beyond the festival with a guided tour of the McRitchie-Hollis Museum and a picturesque historic garden walk that showcases the beauty and legacy of the community.

Your experience continues with complimentary beer and wine throughout the day, along with special perks including discounted museum memberships and merchandise. As the sun sets, keep the celebration going with VIP access to the “Encore” After-Party—an unforgettable finale reserved exclusively for those who want the full Porch Fest experience.

This is more than a ticket—it’s a curated journey through sound, story, and Southern hospitality.
