Why Are Concrete Geese Suddenly Showing Up on Porches? Here's the Wholesome Trend Everyone's Talking About!
Have you noticed a quirky new trend waddling onto porches across America? Say hello to the “Porch Goose” phenomenon—a heartwarming comeback of a 1980s decorative theme that's bringing joy (and style!) to doorsteps everywhere.
From holiday-themed costumes to everyday flair, homeowners are proudly dressing up concrete goose statues in delightful outfits. While it may seem merely whimsical, this trend taps into something deeper: personality-driven outdoor décor that sparks joy and connection.
Whether you're a fan of nostalgic charm, seasonal decorating, or just want a daily smile, here’s everything you need to know—and how to join in.
Shown here: Nesco Dragon and Large Goose
What Is the Porch Goose Trend?
At its core, the trend is simple—and a little magical. A concrete (or resin) goose statue takes center stage on your porch. People dress them up for holidays, birthdays, weather themes, or just because. Think:
-
Santa hats in December
-
Raincoats for spring
-
Patriotic garb on the 4th of July
-
Farmer/harvest pieces from Halloween through Thanksgiving
The result? A lovable, expressive porch mascot that greets guests and passersby with personality and charm.

How to Keep Your Concrete Goose Looking Sharp
Whether you’re working with a brand-new statue or reviving a vintage one, here are a few care tips:
-
Seal for Protection: Concrete is porous—use a concrete sealer like Flex Seal Liquid (Clear) to protect against moisture and the elements.
-
Clean Gently: A rinse with mild soap and a soft cloth helps to keep your goose looking fresh.
-
Fix Minor Damage: Fill cracks with Quikrete and apply touch-up stain when dry. Performing minor repairs when needed will help maintain the statue’s structural integrity over time.
