The Fouke Monster Festival will be held in Fouke, Arkansas from April 25, 2026 thru April 26, 2026. This festival celebrates The Fouke Monster and The Legend of Boggy Creek. It is an annual event dedicated to discussions, presentations, and lore related to the creature and other similar monsters. The event includes a catered dinner and several guest speakers. It’s a ticketed event so tickets need to be purchased ahead of time.

The Fouke Monster is a humanoid creature, similar to descriptions of Bigfoot, that was allegedly sighted in the rural town of Fouke, Arkansas during the early 1970s. The Fouke Monster first made local headlines in 1971 when it was reported to have attacked the home of Bobby and Elizabeth Ford on May 2, 1971. To this I say WTF – What the Fouke?
