The Coal Festival is a celebration commemorating Blossburg and the surrounding area's rich
mining history and the diversity of our ancestors. In 1792 coal was discovered in the Blossburg
area during the building of the Williamson Road. The coal quickly became a valuable resource
that brought many people to the area to work in coal mines, and many of the towns in our area
were created because of the mining that took place. Although mining no longer takes place in the
area, we honor our past with the annual Coal Festival. The first Coal Festival was held Memorial
Day weekend in 1993, 201 years after coal was discovered in Blossburg. The event continues to
be held on Memorial Day weekend each year. We invite you, your family and friends to help us
celebrate
