To all headed to Mothman Festival, have fun!

Cryptid hunters, assemble! 🦇👽 Before you spread your wings and fly to Point Pleasant for the Mothman Festival this weekend, take a peek at our totally official and slightly chaotic traffic map. 🗺️🚗

Heads up: there is a lane closure on the Silver Memorial Bridge slow lane coming from the Ohio side, so pack your patience, curate a spooky road trip playlist, and definitely leave a little early.

Who is your co-pilot for the weekend, and what’s the first thing you’re doing when you get to town?

Frogman Fest founder Jeff Craig will be kicking off the speaker presentations on Saturday at noon. He’ll take us on a foray into Frogman folklore. There wasn’t just one 1955 encounter with little green men. There weren’t even just two. There were several and some have become lumped into one collective story. What about the 1972 police incident? Rumors abound about hoaxes and vendettas. Stories changed. But most of all, Frogman has become a legend for the ages and this won’t be a talk to be missed. Also stop by the booth near the statue. Maps and prints will be well stocked! 🐸👽🛸🔴🔴

Just upstream from Frogman territory, the beavers are chomping at each other. 🦫

“Beavergate” wasn’t something we had on our radar, but it’s Ohio, and strange things happen. Hopefully calm waters will prevail and everyone can use a beaver of their choice. The pond should be big enough for us all.

Meanwhile, while summer is for spawning, hopping and leaping amongst the lily pads, we wanted to remind you that Frogman Festival is returning for the fifth time! 🐸

We’re spanning the globe for speakers to fit our little enclave of mystery. Vendors are creating more artwork and crafts, plans are bubbling beneath the swamp, and there might even be a wizard somewhere working on a few spells to enchant you into joining us. And of course, the pied piper is tuning their drones, ready to lure the curious from near and far.

The swamp will stir again. Stay tuned. March 5-6, 2027.
