Philadelphia Folk Festival

Fodor's Review:

First held in 1962, the oldest continuously running folk festival in the country takes place each year for three days during the last week in August. Doc Watson, Taj Mahal, Joan Baez, and Judy Collins are just a few of the artists who have performed here.
