Small towns often get overlooked for their big-city counterparts, but a true Mid-Atlantic small town is second to none. Most have quite a bit in common – from quaint, walkable downtowns to an overall friendliness that’s reminiscent of yesteryear. Annual events, like summer fairs and Christmas celebrations, fill the calendar all year round while mom and pop shops dot the darling streets. This small town in Pennsylvania oozes Mid-Atlantic vibes, making it a must-visit destination.
Only one true town exists in Pennsylvania, and that's Bloomsburg, an adorable small town that's home to just over 14,000.
With a motto "like coming home for Christmas," you're pretty much assured that you really will feel right at home, whether you're a first-time or a frequent visitor.
Small towns tend to be focused on community, and Bloomsburg is no exception. The Bloomsburg Community Garden, for example, allows residents a space to grow food.
If you have to choose a time to visit, consider fall for the annual Bloomsburg Fair. The fair has drawn fair-goers from near and far since its debut in 1854.
Twinkling lights and community celebrations make the holiday season another perfect time for a visit. You can even climb aboard the North Pole Express with Santa.
