Old Fort Trails & Trains Festival

Come celebrate the rich history of our Blue Ridge Mountain community by focusing on its pathways and connections through the town’s notable railroad and Pisgah National Forest history. Visit our Vendor Village, grab a bite at the food trucks and hit the trails with our multiple guided hikes. Kids will love the duck race down Mill Creek, scavenger hunt, and a ride on a miniature train. This 3 day event will include multiple presentations around town including Yoga Fest, Book Signing and Trail Talk with AT Record-Setter and Author Jennifer Pharr Davis (as well as a Keynote address), the Rythym & Rails Bluegrass Festival, and the Mountain Bike Film Festival from Ritual Mountain Bike Film Tour. Check the website for the complete schedule of events.
