During the month of May in the hills of Damascus, a celebration of major proportions takes place. Hikers reunite, friendships establish, music is made and folks of all kinds are entertained with a town-wide celebration of the Appalachian Trail and all its people. This year’s theme is “The Journey is the Experience”.

The park in downtown Damascus where the Appalachian Trail and Virginia Creeper Trails meet will be packed full of food vendors and information booths ready to greet you. Various hiking gear vendors from around the country will be on the ready to assist with anyone who needs help with their equipment. It’s just another way that these various organizations will share their love of the trail and outdoor enthusiasts alike!

We will bring you a full schedule and information in our next issue in May. Don’t forget the Yard Sale that spans the entire town of Damascus the weekend prior to Trail Days, and the hiker parade that takes place every year down Main Street. Join us for this week long celebration of the trail!
