West Virginia Bigfoot Festival (WV)

The West Virginia Bigfoot Festival will be held in Summersville, West Virginia on October 9, 2026. The West Virginia Bigfoot Festival first began on June 26, 2021 alongside the grand opening of The West Virginia Bigfoot Museum.  The very first year, the festival drew a large crowd and caught statewide media attention. The festival was attended by approximately 1,500 people and featured a Bigfoot symposium, vendors, food, and Bigfoot researchers.

In 2025 the festival grew to 200 vendors, 20 food trucks, the largest lineup of speakers and special guests to date, and even a hosted Bigfoot wedding! I’m assuming these are humans getting married and not two Bigfoots tying the knot. Now that would be a festival worth attending!
