The Blossburg Coal Festival is an annual event celebrating the history and heritage of the mining industry in Blossburg and the surrounding communities. In 1992, Bernie Tokarz suggested to Jim Holleman that the community should honor our ancestors who started the town and the mining that was a main contributor to the town's existence. Jim presented the concept of the Coal Festival to the Blossburg Borough Council. Once the council approved the idea, plans began to take shape. The committee exchanged ideas and solicited suggestions.
