Local Tips
Hamburg sits at the foot of Hawk Mountain on the Blue Mountain Ridge — Hawk Mountain Sanctuary (the world's first raptor sanctuary), the Appalachian Trail, and the Schuylkill River Trail are all nearby.
What You'll Find There
Highlights include livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fair celebrating the agricultural traditions that persist in Schuylkill County's non-coal valleys.
The Fair
Held each late July in Hamburg, the Schuylkill County Fair celebrates the farming heritage of a county better known for its coal mines than its cornfields, set in the agricultural valleys between the Blue Mountain Ridge and the Pennsylvania Dutch country.
