Join the Duncannon A.T. Community (DATC) for their 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 will take place on June 20th, 2026 with 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 entertainment won’t stop all after noon (did someone day 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 the NEW FESTIVAL LOCATION, right in the Duncannon Square (on Market St. between Cumberland and Ann St.) and enjoy the camaraderie of the town and numerous thru-hikers who 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!

Vendor spots are available. If interested please fill out the form on our website.

The DATC hosts this celebration of the A.T., the hikers, and most importantly, Duncannon’s contributions to the A.T. community as the geographical mid-point of the entire trail. They thank the Borough of Duncannon, the Mountain Club of Maryland, and the Duncannon Sportsman’s Association for being long time sponsors of the festival!
