Planning a trip to Bedford County for Bedford's Fall Foliage Festival? Arrive a day or two early and be part of something bigger.
Before you spend the weekend exploring our historic communities, scenic mountain roads, local shops, restaurants, trails, and vibrant fall colors, join one of the many Healthy Lands Week conservation projects taking place across the county.
All week long from National Public Lands Day on September 26 through A Walk in Penn’s Woods Day on October 4, 2026, there will be opportunities to learn about conservation and preservation, roll up your sleeves and volunteer, and see how everyone can make a difference. Then go enjoy everything Bedford County has to offer!
It's an opportunity to experience the beauty of our area while helping preserve it for future visitors.
Come for the fall colors. Stay to give back.

Your sign to take lunch outside. ☀️☕🥐
UpTown Cafe & Bakery in Bedford has the kind of outdoor seating that makes you want to linger a little longer. Grab your coffee, pick out something delicious from the bakery, settle in and let the day slow down for a bit.
Because sometimes the best part of getting coffee or lunch is having nowhere else you need to be.
Add Uptown to your next Bedford stop and enjoy a little time outside.
