The 10,000 people expected to attend the 48th annual Philadelphia Folk Festival in Schwenkswille, PA will be asked to re-use their beer cups, or face additional charges, when purchasing brews from the event's Official Beer Sponsor, Yards Brewing Company.
Yards is seeking to set an environmentally responsible example by pouring their Philly Pale Ale, ESA, Brawler and IPA on draft only, as well as managing their own recycling throughout the 3-day festival.� Production has already been ramped up at the Delaware Avenue brewery, the first in PA to run on 100 percent wind power, to keg the heady quantity of beer required to sustain the festival-goers, including the 5,000 camping on-site.
The Fest has updated its lineup this year to attract new fans, including The Derek Trucks Band, The Del McCoury Band, The Decemberists, Iron and Wine, The Works Progress Administration, Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer, Sonny Landreth, Tom Rush and almost 40 other local and national performers.
Philadelphia Folk Festival, Aug. 14-16, $44-$131, Old Pool Farm, Schwenksville, PA, folkfest.org
