The Philadelphia Folksong Society announced on Monday, February 6, 2023 that it 'has decided to take a pause from the Festival this year.' In a statement, the Board of Directors cited financial problems and organizational challenges as reasons for taking this year off from producing the long running festival. The Philadelphia Folk Festival has been held continuously each year since 1962. This will be the first year that it has not been held in some form. The fest was not put on in person in 2020 or 2021 due to the pandemic, but was held online. It went back the the Old Pool Farm last summer in 2022 for the 60th Anniversary. PFS also announced that it will not be renewing its lease at its office and venue located 6156 Ridge Ave in Roxborough. Executive Director Justin Nordell has also departed.

There will be a Community Meeting to discuss the changes hosted on Zoom by the Board of Directors this Wednesday, February 8th, at 7:00 pm ET.
