About the event
Bigfoot has been spotted at George Poston Park... and we need your help finding him! Your adventure begins at Base Camp, where Bigfoot hunters will check in, gather their gear, and attend a pre-hunt briefing to prepare for their expedition. Once briefed and ready, hunters will depart Base Camp and head into the park on a self-guided hunt for Bigfoot, following the clues and seeing what they can discover along the way. But you don't have to join the hunt to join the fun! Bigfoot in the Park is open to everyone, whether you're ready to search the trails or just want to see what all the Bigfoot buzz is about. You will get to enjoy local market vendors, food trucks, refreshments, activities, and more at Base Camp. Come for the hunt, come for the food and vendors, or just come hang out and enjoy a fun day in the park. Bring the family, explore the park, and see if you can spot the legend for yourself!

Join us for Bigfoot in the Park on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at George Poston Park!

 

Bigfoot in the Park is a family-friendly outdoor event featuring a Bigfoot scavenger hunt throughout the park, activities, market vendors, food trucks, and more.

 

We are looking for a small, carefully selected group of food and beverage vendors to provide a variety of options for event attendees. We anticipate selecting approximately:

 

  • 2–3 Meal/Food Trucks
    Serving entrées or meal-style options such as burgers, BBQ, tacos, sandwiches, pizza, etc.
  • 2–3 Beverage Vendors
    Serving specialty drinks, coffee, lemonade, tea, refreshers, or similar beverages. Alcohol is not permitted at this event.
  • 1–2 Snack/Concession Vendors
    Serving desserts, sweets, shaved ice, popcorn, baked goods, snack foods, or other concession-style items.

To provide attendees with the best variety, vendors will be selected based in part on menu offerings, and we will limit vendors with substantially similar menus or primary products. Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance.

 

Food and beverage offerings do not need to be Bigfoot-themed, although vendors are always welcome to have a little fun with the theme!

 

Vendor selections will be made the week of August 24. Applicants will not be notified of acceptance or charged a vendor fee until selections are made. If selected, the payment method provided with your application will be automatically charged at that time.

 

Please only submit an application if you intend to participate if selected. Additional information regarding setup, arrival, parking, and vendor locations will be provided to accepted vendors prior to the event.
