Be part of Pennsylvania’s living musical tradition at Greenwood Furnace Folk Gathering, as you enjoy playing, singing, jamming, dancing, listening, learning and sharing your enthusiasm for folk music.

Whether you are a non-musician or an advanced player, you will find activities to suit your interests.  We offer workshops and classes in eight time slots covering a range of styles and techniques, two concerts, a contra and square dance and many jam sessions.

Greenwood Furnace State Park provides rustic beauty and a fitting historic backdrop for our annual celebration of Pennsylvania Heritage Musicians. This year our Pennsylvania Heritage Musician award, for contributions to sustaining music through the generations, honors Patsy Hollobaugh.
