In the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the town of Round Hill sits between two Appalachian Trail (A.T.) centers - Bears Den to the south and Blackburn to the north. The town's inaugural festival in 2019 celebrated Round Hill's official designation as an A.T. Community, recognizing the Trail as a community asset and pledging to support ongoing Trail stewardship. The festival is back in 2023 with the town of Hillsboro teaming up with Roundhill to celebrate the AT and everything Great Outdoors in a new venue: The Gap Stage and Old Stone School in Hillsboro, VA. Visit the festival to listen to hiking experts and enjoy live music--plus kids' activities, an A.T.-inspired art show and more. The festival will go "hands on" again, with activities and demos like trail cooking, yoga for hikers, hammock camping...and more. Free!
