2012 Philadelphia Folk Festival – Friday

The 2012 Philadelphia Folk Festival began its three-day run on a farm in Schwenksville, Pa. This is also the first time there wasn’t a formal intermission between the afternoon and evening performances. NewsWorks photographer Howard Pitkow is covering the Festival, which ends Sunday night. 

As he sends more photos in I’ll try to post them as soon as possible here. In this slideshow you will see only photos from August 17, 2012.
