Today was an incredible milestone for the Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Conference.

We are honored that the City of Gatlinburg has officially proclaimed July 20-26, 2026 as Bigfoot Week in Gatlinburg!

What started as an idea has grown into something that brings thousands of visitors to the Smokies, supports local businesses, and celebrates the researchers, speakers, vendors, volunteers, and fans who make this community so special.

A huge thank you to Mayor Mike Werner, the City of Gatlinburg, the City Commission, City Manager Greg Patterson, Seth Butler and everyone who helped make this proclamation a reality. Your support means more than we can express.

Most importantly, thank you to every attendee, speaker, vendor, sponsor, volunteer, and supporter over the years. This recognition belongs to all of you. You believed in this event, helped it grow, and made Bigfoot Week possible.

We can’t wait to welcome everyone to Gatlinburg this week for what promises to be our biggest and best event yet. Here’s to an unforgettable Bigfoot Week! 👣❤️

The 6th Annual Great Florida Bigfoot Conference is coming to Ocala on June 13, 2026, and it’s shaping up to be one of the biggest gatherings yet for anyone fascinated by the legend of Bigfoot.

Held at the World Equestrian Center (Expo 1) from 9 AM to 6 PM, the event brings together some of the nation’s top Bigfoot researchers, investigators, and authors.

Throughout the day, speakers will share their latest discoveries, field experiences, and some of the most compelling evidence ever discussed in the search for the elusive creature.

Whether you’re a longtime believer, a curious skeptic, or just someone who loves a good mystery, this conference is a chance to dive into the world of Bigfoot, ask questions, and meet others who share the fascination.

VIP tickets even include an exclusive Meet & Greet dinner with the speakers the night before.

Just remember… if you’re exploring the woods afterward, keep your eyes open. 👀
