If you are like thousands of music lovers on the East Coast you head
for UPPER SALFORD TOWNSHIP near the bucolic burg of Schwenksville,
Pennsylvania, a little more than 35 miles outside of PHILADELPHIA
WHERE THE LEGENDARY PHILADELPHIA FOLK FESTIVAL TRANSFORMS A WORKING
FARM INTO A MAGICAL, musical sound park. This cherished event is the
longest continuously running outdoor music FESTIVAL OF ITS KIND IN
NORTH AMERICA AND WILL CELEBRATE ITS 56TH ANNIVERSARY AUGUST 17-20,
2017 AT THE OLD POOL FARM.
Known to present superstars and rising stars alike, plans for this
year’s summertime extravaganza are well underway!
The event is unique in that it is presented by a non-profit arts
education organization, the Philadelphia Folksong Society, and is
operated with the help of 2,500 dedicated volunteers.
The Folk Festival is a perfect family event, with puppeteers,
jugglers, aerialists, storytellers, hands-on crafts and of course,
kid-oriented musicians gathering in Dulcimer Grove, the shady area
that has become a haven for folk fans 12 and under. Children up to 5
years of age are admitted free in the campgrounds; children up to 11
years of age are admitted free to the concert area. Older kids, 12 to
17, are eligible for the special “youth ticket”, allowing them
into the festival for half the regular gate price, when accompanied by
an adult.
