Spirit Of The Forest Bigfoot Festival (OH)

The 2026 Spirit Of The Forest Bigfoot Festival will be held in Celina, Ohio from October 24, 2026 thru October 25,2026. The festival celebrates the legend of Bigfoot through engaging activities and community gatherings. It’s a weekend filled with exciting events, live entertainment, and opportunities to learn about this fascinating folklore.

Some of the exciting events include a Bigfoot raffle drawing for a 3-foot Concrete Bigfoot, a Bigfoot Scavenger Hunt, a Bigfoot look alike contest (no costumes), and a discussion about how Bigfoot builds a tree structure for shelter.

If you’re a male, hairy, nudist you may want to head over to the festival to see if you can cash in on the look alike contest.

The 2025 event welcomed more than 3,000 attendees over the weekend. This year another indoor building was added for vendors. For those interested in some ‘Bigfoot booze’ there’s also a beer and wine garden planned. Now that’s some real ‘spirit’!

Friday will feature the classic car and truck show, and Saturday a jeep show. Saturday evening will bring trick-or-treating for the kids. Organizers are also inviting everyone to carve a pumpkin, bring a battery-operated candle, and add it to the glowing pumpkin trail.
