Pinhoti Fest 2026 —

Celebrating 5 years!

📅 September 25–27, 2026 | Sylacauga, Alabama

We’re already gearing up for the 5th Annual Pinhoti Fest, and we’d love to have you join the celebration making this the best ever!

Pinhoti Fest brings together hikers, outdoor enthusiasts, trail supporters, and small businesses who share a love for the Pinhoti Trail and the adventures it inspires.

As we plan for 2026, we’re looking for vendors whose products and passions align with the trail lifestyle —
whether that’s outdoor gear, adventure apparel, trail-friendly foods, handmade hiking essentials, or unique items that reflect the spirit of exploration.

If you’re a business or maker with trail-related products, educational displays, or outdoor-inspired creations*, we invite you to apply for a booth at next year’s event.

Check back here for the 2026 Vendor Request Form and details on booth space, setup times, and festival activities.

We can’t wait to celebrate five years of community, connection, and blue blazes with you at Pinhoti Fest 2026!

*Pinhoti Fest focuses on trail culture, outdoor recreation and adventure, so to be respectful of the time that you put into your work and to ensure your success, we will only accept vendors related to the outdoors.

It wouldn’t happen without you!

Vendors are the backbone of The Pinhoti Fest.

A huge Thank you to all of our Vendors below for Supporting Pinhoti Fest 2025.
You Are the Difference.
