Inaugural Louisiana Bigfoot Festival September 7, 2024

In Louisiana, we've got a festival for just about everything and anything you can imagine.

However, one thing we don't have yet is festival dedicated to all things Bigfoot...until now.

Get ready for the inaugural Louisiana Bigfoot Festival this September!

Louisiana Bigfoot Sightings

In Louisiana, Kisatchie National Forest covers a whopping 604,000 acres. With land so incredibly vast, it wouldn't be too difficult for someone, or something, to be able to live on the land completely undetected.

Because of the sheer mass of the land, the Kisatchie National Forest ideal habitat for such a creature.

Reports from locals in nearby areas like Georgetown and Jena have added to the land's mysterious reputation.

The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) has documented numerous sightings in Louisiana.

For example, in June 2023, there was a close-range daylight encounter in Natchitoches Parish. Other significant sightings have occurred in Sabine Parish and Grant Parish, where witnesses have reported road crossings and ongoing Bigfoot activity near swamps.

Louisiana Bigfoot sightings have also been featured in numerous TV shows, particularly those focusing on areas like Cotton Island in Rapides Parish and near Goldonna in Natchitoches Parish.

With so many reports and Bigfoot sightings throughout Louisiana, it only seems fitting we have a festival dedicated to all things Bigfoot, right?

Well, now we do!

The inaugural Natchitoches Louisiana Bigfoot Festival is all set to take place Saturday, 7, 2024 at the Natchitoches Events Center.

The Bigfoot Festival promises vendors, local and national speakers, food trucks, outdoor equipment displays, and more.
