Duncannon Appalachian Trail Community Festival, 2026

Join us for our annual A.T. festival, held in one of the most charming and welcoming trail towns between Georgia and Maine!

Held on the 3rd Saturday in June every year, this year’s festival on June 20th, 2026 will have plenty of food and craft vendors, live music, educational booths, volunteer organizations, children’s arts and crafts, and some really great animal presentations! With 2 stages this year, the music and the entertainment won’t stop all afternoon (and did someone say something about “A.T. – The Musical”??) This celebration is for adults and children alike, with a little bit of something for everyone.

Bring your family down to our NEW FESTIVAL LOCATION, right in the Duncannon Square (on Market St. between Cumberland St. and Ann St.) and enjoy the comradery of the town and numerous through-hikers that attend every year. Please note our NEW FESTIVAL TIME as well, we can’t wait to celebrate the town and the trail from 2:00pm – 8:00pm this year!!

Thank you to the Borough of Duncannon, The Mountain Club of Maryland, and the Duncannon Sportsman’s Association for being long time sponsors of the festival!
