The Philadelphia Folk Festival has unveiled its 2026 artist lineup. The impending City of Brotherly Love adjacent event marks its 63rd annual edition. It will return for three days, from August 14 through 16, 2026, to Old Pool Farm in Upper Salford Township, Pa., located just over 30 miles from the city center. 

According to the latest dispatch, artists performing on the main stage will include Leftover Salmon, Tom Rush, Mary Gauthier, Eddie 9V, Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience, Big Richard, RUNA, Damn Tall Buildings, Kieran Kane & Rayna Gellert, in addition to local act, John Flynn. Nationally touring and more local Philadelphia acts will be added to the roster in the coming weeks. 

As a special feature of the forthcoming occasion, the festival will renew its exceedingly popular Thursday night entertainment – just for campers. A special lineup of artists will join in on the bonus night of songs. 

“The 63rd Philadelphia Folk Festival will feature performances by longtime festival favorites and amazing acts never-before-seen on our stages,” says Festival Director Michael Braunfeld via press release. “There will be something for everyone on the Old Pool Farm this year. We’ve got music, food, and crafts. And, of course, we have that wonderful magic that brings people back year after year. You won’t want to miss this one.”
