About the event
Next year, we’re throwing the biggest birthday bash East Tennessee has ever seen — and you’re invited! The 6th Annual Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Festival is celebrating none other than the legendary creature himself with a full-day Bigfoot Birthday Bash in the heart of the Smokies. Come party with us as we mix Bigfoot lore with birthday fun, festival favorites, and a few surprises only a birthday Bigfoot could dream up! We’ll have all your favorite activities — guest speakers, live music, delicious food trucks, vendors, contests, and more — but with a birthday twist. Think party hats, cake-inspired treats, birthday games, and maybe even a surprise visit from the guest of honor himself. 🎂 Highlights Include: – Bigfoot-themed birthday games & giveaways – A Bigfoot-sized birthday card for fans to sign – Special edition merchandise to mark the occasion – Photo ops with Party Sasquatch – A sweet celebration moment — complete with cupcakes, candles, and confetti!
