The West Virginia Bigfoot Festival

About

The West Virginia Bigfoot Festival launched in 2021 alongside the opening of the West Virginia Bigfoot Museum and has grown into one of the largest cryptid events in America. Held in Summersville each October, it draws massive crowds — a solid draw for vendors looking to reach an established, niche audience with genuine enthusiasm for the subject matter.
