For years, Bigfoot 911 has explored the Mountains of Western North Carolina and beyond searching for the illusive Bigfoot. After several close encounters with Sasquatch, the non-profit group was inspired to hold the first WNC Bigfoot Festival in 2018 for believers and non-believers alike in the group’s hometown of Marion, N.C.
During the first three WNC Bigfoot festivals, more than 70,000 people enjoyed Bigfoot activities, educational panels and more. Whether you’re interested in learning more about the mysterious creature, trying food inspired by Sasquatch, or you want to try your hand at the Bigfoot Calling Contest, there’s something for everyone planned during the 2023 WNC Bigfoot Festival.
