Damnable Trail Festival – Eastport
Join us for the 2026 Damnable Trail Festival and retrace the paths of the first settlers through the boreal forest and along coastal headlands. Our trails were developed largely from the remnants of old walking trails and hauling paths forged by the first settlers to the area. In the spirit of reconnecting with the “old” trails and reawakening the outdoor spirit of the residents, this festival encourages visitors to marvel at the famous beaches of the Eastport Peninsula while experiencing our walking trails and rugged coastlines that will challenge any hiker.
The Damnable Trail Festival has something to offer just about everyone – from a leisurely stroll along the boardwalk with wheelchair accessibility, to the 22 km Coastal Ridge Challenge that follows a dramatic coastline and takes visitors through scenic communities like Sandy Cove, Salvage, and Happy Adventure. Anyone, visitor or resident, has an opportunity to experience the great outdoors in this area!
PLEASE NOTE: Many events during the festival are FREE; however the Coastal Ridge Challenge requires pre-registration!
Full schedule is available here, not yet finalized.
