A good place to see folk music in the US is the Philadelphia Folk Festival. It has been going since the 1960s and is still going strong. The Philadelphia Folk Song Society puts on other events throughout the year. There are other Folk Song groups in the surrounding Philadelphia area, such as the Lansdowne Folk Song Society, Bucks County Folk Song Society. There is a West Chester Folk group. There are a few house concert groups such as Fortissimo and Musical Lairs. The Point, in Bryn Mawr, is right next to where the Main Point was and has a very busy calendar of events.

Plus, Mudcat Cafe is housed in West Chester, Sing Out! is up in Bethlehem, there is a bunch more stuff going on in the Wilmington/Newark DE area (Green Willow Folk Club, Brandywine Friends of Old Time Music, etc.).

And don't forget Gene Shay's folk radio show every Sunday night on 88.5 WXPN.

Plenty to hear, right in the Philadelphia area.
