If you think nothing good comes for free these days, think again! There is one event you don’t want to miss if you love music and the outdoors! And it’s so good that it gets repeated every year! It’s a folk music Festival where you can lay back and soak in all the bluegrass and folk music you can handle for three full days, and it is absolutely free!

Located in Johnstown Pennsylvania about 50 miles southwest of Pittsburgh, the Johnstown FolkFest is an annual event that is held over the Labor Day weekend. The Johnstown FolkFest has earned its reputation as one of the best folk music festival in the nation according to many dedicated fans who return year after year to enjoy the festivities!
