Others know that folk festivals can't be pigeonholed into that singular hippie category.
Folk festivals run the gamut of musical, ethnical and artistic genres.
Fortunately for us in Pennsylvania, there are equally as many festivals as there are festival varieties right here in the Keystone State. The majority of the festivals in PA are held from May through September and can be found throughout the state. Some offer various activities, while others are very type specific. Pennsylvania's rich heritage and ethnic and cultural history are mirrored by its festivals. Here you'll be able to dance a jig, eat some shoofly pie, listen to bagpipes, buy a quilt, sing along to your favorite tunes, and maybe even learn a little about your ancestral roots.
