About the festival

Welcome to Halfways Dayz 2026, the premier Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) hiker festival! Set in the heart of the Sierra Nevada in Quincy, California, our festival runs from June 26 to June 29, 2026. We are here to celebrate the incredible journey of PCT thru-hikers as they reach a pivotal milestone of their trek, offering a well-deserved rest, celebration, and a whole lot of trail magic.

Who We Are

Halfways Dayz is proudly organized by the Plumas County Trail Angels, a dedicated group of outdoor enthusiasts and trail supporters who are passionate about giving back to the hiking community. We are thrilled to host this year’s event in partnership with the Plumas Sierra County Fair Foundation, whose collaboration and facilities help bring this massive community celebration to life.

Driven by Our Community

An event of this scale relies entirely on the heart, hospitality, and hard work of our local community. Halfways Dayz is made possible through the generous donations, tireless volunteers, and supportive organizations across Quincy and the greater Plumas County area.

From the local businesses that donate supplies to the community members who volunteer their time to ensure every hiker feels at home, this festival is a testament to the welcoming spirit of Plumas County. You are the true magic behind the event.

Whether you are a thru-hiker taking a zero day to enjoy the festivities, a local resident volunteering your time, or a community sponsor, thank you for making Halfways Dayz 2026 an unforgettable stop on the Pacific Crest Trail!
