save the date: Saturday September 26

Mark your calendars for the 14th Annual Haverford Music Festival!

On Saturday, September 26, 2026, the Haverford Music Festival will return to the two stages at the Oakmont School for our 14th Festival!

The 2026 Festival will honor 250 years of American independence with a diverse assortment of American styles of music as well as vendors that mirror the diverse, vibrant culture of the United States and Haverford Township.

(Please note that the date of this year’s Festival has been adjusted from our traditional date, the first Saturday after Labor Day, to avoid falling on Rosh Hashanah.)

On Saturday, September 6, 2025, Grammy Award–winner Buckwheat Zydeco Jr. brought his Mardi Gras party to Havertown!

The 13th Annual Haverford Music Festival featured a full day’s worth of entertainment, headlined by 2024 Grammy Award–winning artist Buckwheat Zydeco, Jr.; jazz vocalist Sasha Dobson; alt-folk-rock band Arbouretum; and local rockabilly artists Dibbs and the Detonators, and supported by numerous regional performers from throughout the Delaware Valley and beyond.

Festival-goers listened to 16 terrific musical acts on our two stages behind and in front of the Oakmont School Building, 50 East Eagle Road, in Havertown.
Area business sponsors and vendors filled booths along the adjacent East Hathaway Lane, along with food vendors, and our beer and wine garden. Children’s activities on the field brought more end-of-summer fun for the entire family. Thank you to all our volunteers and to the vendors and donors who made this year’s Festival possible. We can’t wait to see you in 2026!”

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 Field 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.
