The 20th anniversary event will include a number of exhibits and speakers to inform visitors about programs at the hostel, according to the site.
"We have a Travel Circle that meets at the hostel twice a month, and we get some young people and a lot of people that are adults that have either done traveling recently, done it in the past, or are still really interested in it," Stagg said.
Hostel enthusiasts also gather to discuss international issues impacting travelers in a public forum called the Global Citizen.
