The Philadelphia Folk Festival
Every August, two thousand Festival volunteers and over ten thousand guests gather at the Old Pool Farm in Upper Salford Township, Pennsylvania for a weekend filled with great music, crafts, camping, singing, dancing, children's activities, friendship and fun. An internationally known event, the Philadelphia Folk Festival is a pioneer in presenting quality programs to our audiences and leadership services to organizations across North America. The Festival features performances by top artists in folk music, dance and storytelling. Since 1962, the Philadelphia Folk Festival has attracted musicians, craft persons, dancers, fans, folkies and families from around the world. The Festival offers an eclectic line up of music from the blues to bluegrass, from sea shanties to music from the Andes Mountains and beyond. Legends such as Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie, Judy Collins, Elizabeth Cotton, Phil Ochs, Emmylou Harris, Mississippi John Hurt, Jim Croce and Bonnie Raitt have all graced the stages of our festival.
Spring Thing & Fall Fling
Twice each year, the Philadelphia Folksong Society sponsors a weekend music retreat. Located at a full facility camp, these weekend getaways are filled with hands-on educational workshops and opportunities to play and learn music, dance, and crafts and to share good times with friends and family.
Cabin Fever Festival
Cabin Fever Festival is a day-long celebration of music to help us all get through those dark days of winter by joining together to play and sing. Located in a great indoor setting, you'll find philosophical discussions at the Irish bar, music jams around the fireplace, workshops, kid stuff and an open stage with professional lights and sound. Add to that terrific food and congenial company, long-time friends and new ones, and an enveloping warm feeling, and you'll find the secret to getting through the rest of winter with a positive attitude.
