hmf2026 event

Join us Saturday, September 26, for the WXPN Welcomes 14th Annual Haverford Music Festival—a full day of free live music, and early-fall family fun. 

This year, we’re marking America’s 250th anniversary by welcoming acts with uniquely American musical styles to our two stages.

The family-friendly music festival will feature a full day’s worth of entertainment, headlined by Grammy Award–nominated singer-songwriter Shannon McNally;  folk-pop musician Wesley Stace ; and the inventive bluegrass harmonies of Demolition String Band.

A Grammy nominee who has released 14 albums, Shannon McNally will close the festival with her soulful mix of country, blues, roots, and Americana.

Also appearing on our Barry Gutman Stage will be Philly-based English singer-songwriter  Wesley Stace, who has released 17 albums under the stage name John Wesley Harding, and four under his given name with a fifth coming out this fall. .

Last but not least, the headliners will be joined by Demolition String Band, a country-rock outfit based in Hoboken, NJ. They’ve opened up for the Avett Brothers and Joan Osborne, and will bring their rustic harmonies and “boho bluegrass” sound to the HMF stage.

Arbouretum on the Barry Gutman Field Stage

Haverford Music Festival Stage Renamed in Honor of Barry Gutman

Gutman, who passed away during the summer of 2024, was instrumental in expanding the Music Festival’s reach during his time as press officer.

Barry Gutman Oakmont StageHaverford Music Festival is proud to announce that the Festival is renaming its Oakmont Field stage the Barry Gutman Stage in honor of Music Festival board member, press officer, and friend Barry Gutman, who passed away during the summer of 2024.

For nearly a decade, Barry was a lively and highly visible part of the annual Haverford Music Festival, introducing many of the bands that appeared on the Festival’s two stages. Thanks to his tireless work over the past decade, the Festival grew substantially in size and reputation during Barry’s time as a board member, going from being known as a local music event to a highly regarded boutique music festival that has featured nationally and internationally known artists. It is currently the largest music festival in Delaware County and on the Main Line. He was also a founding member of the Haverford Township Education, Arts & Music Society (HTEAMS), the nonprofit organization that took on organizing duties for the Festival as it continued to grow.
Barry brought a vast knowledge of music to his work as press officer, and his musical acumen, writing ability, and enthusiasm are greatly missed by all.

"The …always charming… Haverford Township Music Festival
is one of the best free festivals in the Philly region.
