Discover Our Festival

Philadelphia Folk Festival

Since its inception, the Philadelphia Folk Festival has been the primary fund raising event for the Philadelphia Folksong Society. A wide variety of food is available at the Philadelphia Folk Festival. 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.
