The pandemic sparked cancellations of events around the world last year, including what should have been the third annual Bigfoot Festival in North Carolina. Thankfully, 2021 is gearing up to be a bit more normal than last year, though. And, of course, gathering in a small town in the Highlands to celebrate Sasquatch is not only perfectly normal… it’s also loads of fun!
Welcome to Marion, North Carolina, home of the WNC Bigfoot Festival set for Friday, September 17, 2021 and Saturday, September 18, 2021.
