Going to the venerable Philly Folk Festival in Schwenksville was very much a part of my growing up, and the joy of just relaxing with a huge number of consciously mellow yet energetic and devoted music lovers is something everyone should experience.

I’ve always been someone who appreciated folk music, though not a big follower of it. The Philadelphia Folk Festival has exposed me to artists within the endlessly varied world of folk and world music that I never would have heard or seen anywhere else… many of whom I’ve become fans of, bought their records, know their work. I’m a richer being, by far, having spent time there. And with popular folk artists like The Decemberists and Iron & Wine, there’s a little something for everyone, both indie and mainstream.

You can camp at the Folk Fest, with or without your vintage trailer, or you can just zip up for day trips / evening trips. I recommend camping. Worthy!
