FOR THE 59TH ANNUAL PHILADELPHIA FOLK FESTIVAL, THE SHOW MUST GO ON… LINE! For the 60th? WHY NOT BOTH!?
Join us for a three or four day extravaganza of traditional and contemporary music, dance, crafts, camping, and children’s activities. Join us for just a day or stay for the entire weekend!
If you are like thousands of music lovers on the East Coast, you head for Upper Salford Township, Pennsylvania, a little more than 35 miles outside of Philadelphia, where the legendary Philadelphia Folk Festival transforms a working farm into a magical, musical sound park. This cherished event is the longest continuously running outdoor music festival of its kind in North America and will celebrate its 60th Anniversary, August 19-22, 2021 at the Old Pool Farm.
