We've got 2027's Festival dates set, locked, and ready! 😎

The 2027 Forest County Bigfoot Festival will be held all weekend on June 11, 12, & 13! As always, the festival takes place in Marienville, PA!

Save the date, get your hotel reservations booked, and make sure to bring the excitement with you! Our volunteer board took a break over the summer, but we are now back in it working hard to make the 2027 FCBF better year over year. 👣

For vendors, this is your reminder that our vendor applications go live on Friday, October 30th, 2026, at 7am on our website! Spots fill up fast, so make sure not to wait! (Note: Please beware of scammers! We do not recruit vendors through individuals or third parties. The only way to become a vendor for the festival is through the application on our official website. When in doubt, do not send personal, business, or payment information. You can always reach out to us at our official website or emails to confirm.)

As more things get set into motion, we'll be sure to share all the details. 😉So make sure to follow our Facebook, Instagram, and keep an eye on our website for all of the exciting news!

What a year it's been!

The board took some well-earned time off after another awesome festival, but we're officially back behind the scenes getting things rolling for 2027. Lots of planning, lots of ideas, and lots of coffee happening at our meetings lately.

Also, exciting little update: we finally got our Facebook name back! We were "New Forest Co. Bigfoot Festival Page" for a while, but we're back to just Forest County Bigfoot Festival. You can now find and tag us at here on Facebook or on Instagram! 🥳

We've got some fun updates coming your way soon, so keep an eye on our page. 2027 is shaping up to be a great one!

Thanks for sticking with us throughout the years. ❤ More to come!
