🎵 Thank Your Favorite Campsite 🎵

What would the Philadelphia Folk Festival be without the campsites that make it feel like home?

Whether it's the neighbors who shared coffee at sunrise, the musicians who kept the jam going late into the night, or the friends who have welcomed you back year after year, now is the perfect time to show your appreciation.

Through the Folk Fest Friend-A-Thon, you can make a donation in honor of your favorite campsite or team. With nearly 50 teams, there's a good chance you'll find yours. And if you don't, you can even create a team of your own!

Every gift helps support the Philadelphia Folksong Society and the traditions, music, and community we all cherish.

🌟 Team Spotlight: Who Hill 🌟

Who Hill is making a strong run for 1st place in the 2026 Folk Fest Friend-A-Thon! They have their sights set on the top prize after placing in the top 3 in both 2024 and 2025!

As they share: "Who Hill is a group of friends brought together by their mutual love of music and Folk Fest. Established in 1995, the site was originally located on Camp Path. We merged with the previous E Compound made up of Main Gate Volunteers and eventually moved to our current location on Abe Poole Highway. Our site consists of campers, board members and volunteers on various committees. We are now on the third generation of festers. Outside of Fest, we are all close friends supporting each other through life."

The Philadelphia Folksong Society is grateful for Who Hill and every team helping support the Folk Fest Friend-A-Thon. From longtime volunteers to multi-generational Fest families, Who Hill embodies the community spirit that makes the Philadelphia Folk Festival so special.

Support Who Hill or your favorite team/campsite and help us keep the music playing for future generations to come!

💚 Why Your Gift Matters 💚

When you support the Folk Fest Friend-A-Thon, you're doing more than showing your favorite team a little love. You're helping sustain the Philadelphia Folksong Society community that has brought people together through music for over 6 decades.

Since 1962, the Philadelphia Folk Festival has been a place where music, camping, creativity, and community come together. It's where traditions are passed down, lifelong friendships are formed, and new audiences discover the power of folk music.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps ensure that these experiences continue for future generations.🎶
