Join us for the 63rd Philadelphia Folk Festival!


A magical experience of music, camping, crafts, food, family fun, and cultural activities for all ages, the 2026 Philadelphia Folk Festival will occur over the weekend of August 14, 15, 16, 2026. Located on the iconic Old Pool Farm in Upper Salford Township, PA (Montgomery County), the event celebrates its 63rd year. The Festival is located about 45 minutes outside of Philadelphia, and is presented by the Philadelphia Folksong Society.

The Philadelphia Folk Festival’s legacy includes a multi-generational audience who make returning to the farm each summer an annual event. It is a community of people coming together to share music and make memories between generations. Every year, strangers become friends, and lifelong friendships are forged to create the Philadelphia Folk Festival family, where everyone is welcome.

Musical performances are presented daily from 11am until midnight, on Friday and Saturday, and from 11am until 9:30pm on Sunday. We plan to have 7 stages running throughout the weekend, presenting some of the finest folk music happening today – from traditional to contemporary, you will hear it all. Everyone is invited to attend the festival. Come for the day, or spend the whole weekend. Hope to see you there!

Check out the 2025 performer gallery and schedule to learn about the great artists from last year. We are finalizing our line-up for 2026, so be sure to visit again to see the amazing performers for 2026!
