Don’t miss hip-hop and harps, indie-pop Americana, and folk bands at Philly’s Folk Festival

Pitch a tent, grab a friend, and take in the sounds of one of the country’s oldest folk music festivals in Montgomery County.

The Philadelphia Folk Festival returns for its 62nd year at Old Pool Farm from Friday, Aug. 15, through Sunday, Aug. 17, with more than 40 local and national artists spanning traditional and contemporary folk, indie Americana, and everything in between.

Thousands of music fans will camp out overnight on the farm fields — which operate year-round — while tens of thousands more will come for the daytime shows during the three-day event.

Here’s everything you need to know before you go.

The festival’s ticketing page has packages for admission, parking, and camping. Children 4 and younger get in free. Discounted tickets are available for youth in two tiers: ages 5 to 11, and ages 12 to 17.

Camp out at Philadelphia Folk Festival in the large fields of Old Pool Farm. Camping sites are on a first-come, first-served basis, and organizers ask campers to keep a minimal site footprint, especially in high-traffic areas, so there’s enough space for everyone.

Bring suitable footwear, a refillable water bottle, flashlight, food, and essential medicine. “Oh, and of course your guitar,” the festival’s website reads.
