55th_PFF_200x200

Welcome to the 55th Annual Philadelphia Folk Festival coming this August 18-21, 2016!

Each year, we transform an 80-acre working farm located a mere 35 miles outside of Philadelphia into a magical, musical sound park. For 4 days, we present superstars and rising stars on 8 stages and invite you, our musical family, to join us. We are so proud to be the longest continuously running outdoor musical festival in North America. No other event has captivated the hearts of their volunteers, where three and four generations work side by side to create what is arguably the best summer festival ever! Here, you will never meet a stranger and our hearts are always open.

What you need to know

Location

The Festival takes place in beautiful Upper Salford Township, just northwest of Lansdale near Schwenksville, PA, and is easily accessible from the PA Turnpike or Route 73. For GPS and Google map directions, input Clemmers Mill Road and Salford Station Road, Schwenksville, PA 19473 and once you get closer, follow the signs!

Parking

There are a limited number of parking passes available in our private, onsite lot. Come and go as often as you like and know you’ll have a convenient, guaranteed, reserved spot onsite for the entire weekend. These passes will sell out fast, so don’t wait!

We also offer free off-site parking and a free shuttle. Please be advised that it could take as long as 40 minutes for the shuttle to travel between satellite lots and the Festival site.

Purchase Your Parking Passes Now Before They Sell Out!

Concert Seating

Get close to the Main Stage concerts by purchasing reserved seating. Or, bring your own blankets, tarps, or short leg/low back chairs

Stay for the weekend!

Camping is the ULTIMATE festival experience! Enjoy four days of music and great fun, and four nights of impromptu jamming and campfire sings. The campground has tent, RV and quiet family camping, showers, secure instrument check, a general store, free internet access, and the special camaraderie you’ll find only at the Philadelphia Folk Festival!

Yoga in the campground

Join Yogi Gina Molinari every morning (Friday through Sunday) while she leads you through a mellow flow

The show must go on, rain or shine!
