Celebrating its 58^th year, making it the longest continuously running outdoor music festival in North America, the Philadelphia Folk Festival will take over Montco August 15-18.

With four days filled with good music and good company, the Old Pool Farm in Upper Salford Township will transform into a music-lover’s dream. Of course, once the last songs are played each day and the bands must pack up, the fun can continue all throughout the Montgomery County area!
