Bigfoot BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Bigfoot has been on a cross-country tear this week taking center stage at multiple festivals and inspiring a fresh round of public fascination. The thick of August has seen preparations peak for the WNC Bigfoot Festival set for August 23 in Marion, NC, an event drawing upward of forty thousand attendees in past years. Organizers from Bigfoot 911 say they want skeptics and believers alike to mingle on Marion’s Main Street to hear tales of recent so-called close encounters in the North Carolina mountains. Meanwhile, out West, a different kind of call to the wild is underway—the 5th annual Sierra Bigfoot Music and Art Festival launches August 22-24 at the Black Oak Casino in Tuolumne City, California, featuring three full days of music, art, artisan vendors, and a Bigfoot Symposium hosted by noted Sasquatch researcher Jerry Hein. In Ohio, the just-concluded Hocking Hills Bigfoot Festival drew crowds to the Vinton County Fairgrounds last weekend with VIP dinners, meet-and-greets, and speakers weighing in on the latest theories, fueling renewed speculation that the creature still roams the backwoods.
Gift shops and guided tours are capitalizing on the spike in foot traffic and curiosity. In Ketchikan, Alaska Bigfoot Adventures continues to offer rainforest excursions promising an experience for both hardcore cryptozoologists and the casually curious. Guides stress the environmental education angle, but the big draw remains the legendary footprints and thrilling tales.
On the homefront, a Mississippi man made headlines—Coast to Coast AM and iHeart radio both spotlighted his transformation of his yard into a so-called Sasquatch Sanctuary. The man claims ongoing activity by Bigfoot near his property, complete with camera installations and homemade signage, bringing neighborly curiosity and a steady trickle of local TV coverage. While no new photographic evidence has surfaced, the yard has become a popular spot for local families and cryptid enthusiasts seeking their own moment of mystery.
Athletic circles had their own Bigfoot moment this week, too. The 2025 Bigfoot 240 ultramarathon concluded with a celebratory livestream, and finishers like Wes Ritner and Carson Albanese received cheers not just for their endurance but for braving terrain that has inspired countless Bigfoot legends.
Social media has buzzed as well. EJ Snyder amped up anticipation for North Carolina’s upcoming Uwharrie Bigfoot Festival with Instagram reels showing supposed “sightings,” though—like most such posts—no evidence was verified. As of now, no major news outlets have reported credible new sightings, but the momentum and mythos are only growing. With festival season at its height, Bigfoot’s pop culture relevance is surging, even if the man himself remains as elusive as ever.
