Crafts - August 15-17, 2008
Crafts are a part of the folk tradition and the Philadelphia Folk Festival is pleased to continue our expanded crafts area at the top of the concert hill. Walk through and admire the craftsmanship; watch the glassblowers, metalsmith, artists, and candlemakers at work; take home a one-of-a-kind item to help you remember the Festival during the winter.

Parents please note: This is not day care. Please share this experience with your children.

The Philadelphia Folk Festival Craft Show is a juried event. To apply for a place in the 2008 craft show, please click here or email us.
