This year the Folk Festival will be held August 18th - 21st
Please note: We may not be able to accommodate all committee preferences. We need the most help on Parking and Security. Thank you for volunteering!
Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the 50th Annual Philadelphia Folk Festival. The Philadelphia Folksong Society is able to present this wonderful event every year through the generous support of over 2,000 volunteers!
Volunteer registration is now open. Read this page for more information BEFORE registering below.
Some of our processes have changed to better serve you. If you must sign up via phone, please call the PFS office between 10 am and 5pm Monday through Friday. For your convenience, speak to a PFS staff member directly rather than leaving a message on the voicemail.
Note: all volunteers must be PFS members (at least Associate member level- $15). Also, volunteers (returning and new) must fill out a volunteer form and pay the volunteer administration fee ($25).
If you haven't volunteer before, it is quite an experience. Our volunteer culture is one of a kind, with unique committee history and traditions. Most of the volunteer help we need is in Security, Camping, and Parking Committees. If you have never volunteered, the Folk Festival volunteers committee will likely place you on one of these.
If you plan on registering more than one volunteer PLEASE LOGOUT of your Memberclicks account before registering subsequent volunteers. Additionally, every volunteer requires a unique email address, so you may not register someone else under your own email address.
This year volunteers will again be able to submit (or renew) membership AND sign up for volunteering (and pay fees) on the SAME form.
