Hey I was sort of bummed when I heard All Good festival (used to be in WV) was moving to a new location in Ohio for 2012, it would be way closer to my home town in Michigan but not so great sense I'm thru hiking the trail next spring :/
Anyone know any good big or small music festivals that would be on my way NB or near the trail????
Thanks : P

Check for the Doc Watson "Musicfest" in Cove Creek. You can hitch there easily from Damascus. If you don't know Doc Watson, it's worth the trip to learn.

SKOJAM and MidSummer are pretty close to Pine Grove. MOTM, if held at the same place as the last few years is relatively close to DWG and the BEST venue I have been to IMO. Smaller Festivals, been to SKOJAM and MOTM and had a blast.
I'll be at SKOJam for sure!
evolve. in nj, about ten feet off the trail. im thru hiking nobo next year and am looking to find some fesivals along the way as well
i heard bout this^ this summer i wanted to go then theres always the festy http://thefesty.com/.. and hopefully phish throws down this summer near the trail so you can listen to some of that fine fine music you know http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jvc3WdSetf4&feature=related..
i hope they do. i met a hiker who came off the trail to come to super ball! it was hands down the funkyest thing to do in this country over the fourth of july weekend.
deff i wish i went but after doing tour up to super ball i got a job selling fireworks at the troutville truck stop i atleast gpt live feed of the shows over the fourth.. i caught phish at star lake during my thru then finished my hike in time to make a lil cash to run down to miami for newyears in 09
merlefest last weekend in april, there is also a good one in hot springs i believe the first weekend in may, then traildays in damascus, all around the time if you are nobo, you'll be traveling thru the south.

Del Fest Maryland area, Always check out Asheville NC, its one of the hottest music towns. Easy access from Sams Gap plus a hostel in downtown. Look at the Orange Peel and Civic Center for shows when you pass through. If you get up north early, Mountain Jam is May 31 in Hunter NY. Also, check out jambase.com for festival info
