Things to Do in Honesdale
A robust history melds with the hip scene and popular activities.
Main Street has become a home to boutiques, eateries, coffee shops and breweries. The farm-to-table opportunities and scenic overlooks, like Irving Cliff, are right in Honesdale's backyard. The Stourbridge Line is also a major draw for guests, which departs right from downtown.
There’s plenty of festivals, fairs and things to do in Honesdale Pa throughout the year. The Roots and Rhythm event during the summer has turned into a real destination, and it has become quite a weekend. The Honesdale fair in August is also a huge draw for guests, with its delicious food, fun rides and activities for all. So be sure to plan a day at the Wayne County Fair each year for some hometown fun.
Explore the surrounding areas, and discover an art gallery in White Mills, pet-friendly state park in Prompton and historical attraction in Bethany. Check out these activities below and gather ideas for your trip. Pinpoint where to go with each of our maps.
