Post by Steven »

Hi,

The 55th Annual Philadelphia Folk Festival will take place on August 18-21, 2016. The
Philadelphia Folksong Society runs the Philadelphia Folk Festival. From the pfs.org
website: "We are so proud to be the longest continuously running outdoor musical
festival in North America."

You can find a preliminary list of performers here:

Marty Stuart, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Peter Yarrow, and others are on the list.

Hi,

This year's Philadelphia Folk Festival has come and gone. I was there. Great memories.

Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary was one of the performers. Of course, he's an outstanding
artist. He's also a compassionate person making a meaningful and positive difference
in people's lives through his music, presence, and the organization that he founded:
Operation Respect. Here's a link: http://www.operationrespect.org.
