Here you go!
Next month in Crossville, Tennessee…the Upper Cumberland Bigfoot Festival kicks off as one of the most incredible events of the year in the Volunteer State…for both believers and nonbelievers! Happening October 17–18 at the Cumberland County Fairgrounds, the sixth annual festival brings two days of Bigfoot-themed fun with more than 100 vendors, over 15 food trucks, live music, contests, and plenty to browse. Guests can meet Mountain Man, Turtle Man, and Swamp Man, while Jim Powell and his team share Bigfoot stories and research from the stage. The popular Bigfoot Calling Contest returns both days, with Turtle Man and Swamp Man judging the calls, and “Wrestling with Bigfoot” adds another wild part to the lineup. This is also the first year Center Hill Events is running the festival, which has expanded into a full two-day event. Admission is $10, kids five and under are free, and the fun takes place at 1391 Livingston Road.
