Their motto is "Come a skeptic. Leave a believer." Later this year, you'll have a chance to put that invitation to the test once again. After a one-year pandemic hiatus, the WNC Bigfoot Festival is coming back for 2021.

The town of Marion, NC plays host to this annual gathering of Bigfoot enthusiasts, both casual and committed. The two-day event will feature speakers from various Bigfoot research organizations, as well as a Bigfoot costume contest, Bigfoot calling contest, a Kids Zone, and food court.

Vendors will be lined up along Main Street from 3:00 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday, and from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. For a complete schedule of events and other details, CLICK HERE.
