There will be a limited number of General Admission tickets available for the 59½ Annual Pocket Sized Philadelphia Folk Festival each day. General Admission ticket-holders will be allowed anywhere on the Fest grounds except in the PODS, and will be able to enjoy the music from designated areas on the side and behind the PODS.

There are only permitted to be ONE THOUSAND (1,000) ticket-buyers onsite PER DAY, so do not miss out on this chance to enjoy live music safely with your Folk Family.

In addition, the PFS Board has decided that all in-person attendees must be fully vaccinated OR present proof of a negative COVID test from within the prior 96 hours to fulfill our mission to SECURE THE FUTURE OF FOLK.

This event will be a wonderful opportunity for us to get back to our roots (our 1966 Folk Festival was actually held at Spring Mountain Ski Area!), celebrate our incredible legacy and indomitable spirit, and put all hands in the middle to do what we do best: create a magical, musical experience for those who join us. This in-person event is a fundraiser to support the artists, crafters, the Society, and our mission.
