Thread Name: Philly Folk Fest 2008
Subject: RE: Philly Folk Fest 2008
Only been there once, and that was more than twenty years ago, and only for about half a day.

About the only thing I can say is "It rained."

The few acts I saw were good, but my time was very limited.

I had hoped to see how the camping was set up, as I was bound for WVA a couple of weeks after my visit there, but they seemed determined to enforce their rule that only people who camp can enter the camping area. The website indicates they still enforce that rule. With their brag about "5,000 people camp every year" they probably can enforce rules better than at WVA where there may be 18,000(?)1 campers.

I'll watch the thread to see if I can find out anything they wouldn't tell me when I was there. (1985)

1 WVA doesn't release figures on actual numbers. I think they must be hiding something from the IRS.
