Philadelphia Folk Festival

For this year's historic 46th edition, the PHILADELPHIA FOLK FESTIVAL, one of the nation’s oldest and most revered musical gatherings will set the stage for its three-day extravaganza of traditional and contemporary folk, dance, crafts, camping, and children’s activities on August 17, 18, 19, 2007, at the Old Pool Farm near Schwenksville PA. The Festival continues to attract both superstars and rising stars while maintaining its successful balancing act between tradition and innovation. In all, more than 50 folk, blues, old-timey, bluegrass, world and roots artists will be providing more than 55 hours of music, including over 22 hours of dance music in the 3,500 square foot, wooden-floored dance tent.

The campground at the PHILADELPHIA FOLK FESTIVAL is considered the Ultimate Folk Festival Experience where jamming and camaraderie is shared during the large campfire sing after each evening concert, and on into the night at many campsites throughout the grounds.

The PHILADELPHIA FOLK FESTIVAL is extremely attractive to families, too. There is an unparalleled selection of attractions for kids, especially in Dulcimer Grove, the shady area between the Craft and Camp Stages, where puppeteers, jugglers, storytellers, hands-on crafts and of course kid-oriented musicians make it a haven for folk fans 12 and under. A special section of the campgrounds is designated for Family Camping as a “quieter” area of the tent camping, where campers there are asked, particularly late at night, to avoid after-hours jam sessions.
