SYLACAUGA, Ala. – Pinhoti Fest will return to Noble Park this weekend on Sept. 26-28, bringing together hikers, families, and enthusiasts for a celebration of Alabama’s outdoor heritage.
The annual event, which begins Friday at 8:00 a.m. and runs through Sunday at 5:00 p.m., highlights the 351-mile Pinhoti Trail, a scenic path that winds through Alabama and Georgia. The trail’s southern end lies near Sylacauga at historic Flagg Mountain, a popular access point for adventurers across the region.
Festival organizers say Pinhoti Fest is more than an outdoor expo. Along with live music, vendors, workshops, and food, the event will feature outdoor gear displays, family activities, and the chance to camp in Noble Park for the weekend.
The gathering has grown into a community tradition that underscores the cultural and recreational significance of the Pinhoti Trail.
With its mix of adventure, education, and entertainment, Pinhoti Fest connects people of all ages with the landscapes that make Alabama a destination for hiking and exploration.
