Philadelphia Folk Festival — Local services in Upper Salford Township

I've camped at the fest the last 10 years. It's great and there is a reason it's been around for 50+ years. Pretty easy camping all things considered. Plenty of food, ice, and water available at all times. There is quiet camping available too if you have young children or you need sleep. It is pretty noisy late night for sure otherwise.

You cannot drive into the camping area. If been to music festivals where you camp next to your car. This is not one of them. Shuttles are available to move your stuff if you cannot move in on foot. Lot of people bring wagons, etc which make moving a little easier.

The Piergogi Place had delicious pierogies & kielbasa. Federal Donuts with their delish fresh donuts & chicken sandwiches. Broccoli Bar with great vegan eats. These are just a few...

I have been going to this festival every year of my life. It is a family tradition that I have also introduced friends to. I highly recommend volunteering, specifically, with the Camping Committee, I've been born and raised in this committee, we work hard and play hard too! Volunteers receive two wonderful, large meals(breakfast and dinner) a day! I usually always have leftovers to keep me filled for lunch too. Also, make sure you try to take the hayride to the pancake breakfast either Saturday or Sunday at a local firehouse and make sure at some point you go on top of the green bus! Also make it to the Celtic Afternoon Concert on Sunday afternoon, be ready to dance! Whenever Tempest is there, and they come usually, every other year, they are super energized and get the...
