This is in response to Craig Harris' statement in issue #85 that the Philadelphia Folk Festival is the oldest continuously presented folk festival in the U.S.
The University of Chicago Folk Festival is the longest annually presented folk festival in the U.S. Our first Festival took place in January 1961, and our 40th goes on the boards February 4-6, 2000.
