Philadelphia Folk Festival

The Philadelphia Folksong Society is taking a PAUSE this year, 2023, on presenting the 2023 Philadelphia Folk Festival, while we rebuild. We are grateful for the support of our community and look forward to seeing everyone in 2024!

The Philadelphia Folk Festival is an annual music festival held in the Philadelphia area that celebrates folk music and culture. First held in 1962, the festival has since become a staple of the city’s cultural scene, drawing thousands of attendees each year to enjoy live music, food, crafts, and other festivities.

The festival typically takes place over a weekend in August, and features a diverse lineup of musicians from around the world, performing a wide variety of folk music styles. The festival is known for its relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere, and offers a range of activities and entertainment options for attendees of all ages.
