Map of Festival Attendees
At the 2024 festival, we collected zip codes for a couple of hours at the main gate. The results were very interesting! We had folks from many states and even one person from Spain! A Bigfoot has been placed on each state from which a festival-goer was from. Word of our festival is getting around!
A Podcast Interview About the Festival
Check out my interview with Melissa Ellis about the Bigfoot Festival! You just might learn something you never knew about the festival!
In this episode of What’s Up, Crossville?, I sat down with local meteorologist and festival organizer, Meteorologist Mark Baldwin to uncover the incredible community impact of the 4th annual Upper Cumberland Bigfoot Festival. Mark takes us behind the scenes of the festival’s creation, its growing success, and how it gives back to the local area in a BIG way. Plus, we dive into the question on everyone’s mind: Is Mark Baldwin a Bigfoot believer? Tune in for festival highlights, fun stories, and a look at the mystery and magic of Bigfoot in Crossville!
