About

Philadelphia Folksong Society, Philadelphia, PA

Crafts at the Philadelphia Folk Festival is a 3 day, outdoor, juried show on the beautiful grounds of the Old Poole Farm. The Festival draws 10-15,000 ticketed patrons each day. The Craft Show features approximately 60 artists from the local area and the whole east coast.

The Philadelphia Folksong Society Festival Craft Show is committed to featuring handmade goods created by the artists and artisans who show them at our event. The Craft Jury may occasionally decide, in addition, to feature other examples of indigenous crafts which represent the folk culture of an area.

The Philadelphia Folk Festival began in 1962 and is the largest and longest-running Festival of its kind in the country. 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.
