Bigfoot BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Bigfoot has hardly taken a step out of the spotlight over the past few days and the headlines have kept coming. The most talked-about event on the schedule has to be the WNC Bigfoot Festival set for August 23rd in Marion North Carolina. Organized by the Bigfoot 911 group, who claim to have had several close encounters, this festival draws tens of thousands of believers and skeptics alike every year. There’s the famous Bigfoot Calling Contest, celebrity panels, and Sasquatch-inspired food, promising to convert even the toughest doubters. If you’re not in the Carolinas, Bigfoot still has you covered. Out in Tuolumne City, California, the Sierra Bigfoot Music Festival is returning August 22-24 with music, artists, food, and the Sunday Bigfoot Symposium hosted by researcher Jerry Hein, an event described as a must for aficionados and folklorists alike. Meanwhile, up in Ohio, last weekend saw crowds descend on the Hocking Hills Bigfoot Festival at the Vinton County Fairgrounds, featuring a VIP dinner with not-so-mythical speakers and local celebrities, all under the watchful eyes of the beast himself.

Bigfoot continues to collect signatures on more than just footprints. On the airwaves, the podcast Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff Barackman and Bobo Fay of Finding Bigfoot fame dropped a fresh episode on August 8th, mixing eyewitness tales, folklore, and expert banter. A talk by cryptozoologist Bruce Hallenbeck in Kingston, New York, just unpacked the legend of the Kinderhook Creature—a Bigfoot cousin said to haunt the Catskills since the 80s—where attendees swapped eerie stories and hot tips. On social media, survivalist EJ Snyder caused a stir on August 12th after posting a cheeky Bigfoot sighting video tagged at the Uwharrie Bigfoot Festival, fueling chatter across Instagram.

In lifestyle news, a Mississippi man just went viral after transforming his entire yard into a so-called Sasquatch Sanctuary, boldly declaring to local media that Bigfoot still roams among us. Meanwhile, the tourist circuit is capitalizing too, with Alaska Bigfoot Adventures tours near Ketchikan getting rave reviews for taking travelers deep into the rainforest on the trail of America’s most elusive icon.

While nothing in the past week amounts to definitive scientific proof, these festivals, podcasts, and grassroots sightings serve only to enhance Bigfoot’s long-term legend and public profile. No new photographs or physical evidence have been authenticated by credible experts and major news organizations continue to report on the story as regional culture and folklore, rather than hard fact, so for now, Bigfoot remains as much a mystery as ever.
