As spring is sprung and the irresistible romantic fancies of young men and women turn to thoughts of frolicking 2,185.9 miles through the forest, we know it’s time for Dahlonega, Georgia’s, Trail Fest 2013.
Trail Fest celebrates the passing of winter and the reemergence of flowers, warmth and thru-hikers (not necessarily in that order) hitting the northbound trail from Springer Mountain. Springer — a mere hop, skip and 50-mile jump from Dahlonega — is where the Appalachian Trail (AT) begins in earnest.
Spring officially begins at 7:02 AM EDT on Wednesday, March 20, 2013. Town festivals held on Wednesdays, however, don’t fair as well as those on weekends. So, the Wise Ones who orchestrate Trail Fest opted for Friday-Sunday, March 22-24th this year.
Dahlonega (pronounced “dahlonega”) is a delightful destination any day of the year, but Trail Fest makes it even delightfuler. Here are a few of the special treat you can expect:
- great food
- fun music
- excellent food
- Appalachian Trail oriented vendors
- authors & talks from AT hikers
- hiking workshops
- dandy music & tasty food
- 5K Trail run
Attention Singles: Trail Fest is a wonderful way to meet healthy outdoorsy, hiker-type people.
Celebrate spring, love, the Appalachian Trail, and the last shower northbounders will take for approximately 175 days at Trail Fest 2013.
