Appalachian Trail Days Festival May 18-20

Appalachian Trail Days, an annual celebration of the Appalachian Trail and the hikers, former hikers and aspiring hikers who converge there each year, will be held May 18-20 in Damascus, Va.

Music, children’s games, an unusual parade, a hikers’ talent show, people-watching, bike rides, hikes, workshops, lots of food, and other family-friendly activities make this one of the most popular small-town events in Virginia.

Trail Days is held each year in May, the weekend after Mother’s day, in the Appalachian mountain town of Damascus, Virginia. For a schedule of Trail Days 2007 events, lodging and dining information, photos, and more, visit www.traildays.info.
