We are on a Quest to put on the 2025 Fest!

In 2023, the Philadelphia Folksong Society had to pause presenting its signature event, the Philadelphia Folk Festival, to rebuild and plan for the organizations future. Because of our community’s support, Fest was back in 2024 and was a financial and musical success! We want to thank every patron, sponsor, volunteer, vendor, advertiser, neighbor, and community partner for supporting the 2024 Philadelphia Folk Festival!

The goal of the Philadelphia Folksong Society (PFS) is to build the sustainable future PFS needs to continue planning events like the Philadelphia Folk Festival and to keep fest (and PFS) going for another 61 Years!

The Philadelphia Folksong Society (PFS) is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the past, promoting the present, and securing the future of folk music and related forms of expression through education, presentation, and participation.

Looking toward the future, the PFS Board of Directors ask that you HOLD the DATE of August 15, 16 and 17 for the 2025 Folk Festival. More information is coming soon, but we can't do it without YOU!

We appreciate your generosity and dedication to helping rebuild the PFS and the Philadelphia Folk Festival!
