Skagit BigFoot Fest 2023

Planning is well underway for the 2nd Annual Skagit BigFoot Fest scheduled for Friday and Saturday, September 29 and 30, 2023 at the Skagit County Fairgrounds in Mount Vernon. The two-day Bigfoot extravaganza will offer the ultimate destination for Bigfoot enthusiasts and supporters of local business, art, and music, featuring more than 20 live performances across two different stages, including headline musical performances from regionally known bands like The Olson Brothers and SYLKROAD, as well as a number of local vendors, food trucks, a wine & beer garden, National Guard rock wall, and a Kids Zone. The public can now pre-purchase $10 general admission tickets on the Skagit BigFoot Fest website, as well as $75 pre-sale VIP tickets that will offer complimentary light snacks and beverages, exclusive swag bags, a relaxation space, private restrooms, and VIP room entertainment. The ticket page also offers an opportunity to make a direct donation to two local organizations that benefit children: Children of the Valley and Camp Korey.

“Skagit BigFoot Fest started last year with a mission of bringing good to our community in the form of a Bigfoot-themed celebration, and was a great success with nearly 500 attendees coming out,” said Marla Chapa, founder of Skagit BigFoot Fest, U.S. Navy veteran, and owner of Marla & Company, a Homes for Heroes affiliate real estate professional. “Our vision for the future is to put our community on the map for more than the gorgeous tulips we offer. We hope to help build a stronger sense of community and improve the local economy while providing a fun event for all ages. We’ve already made massive improvements to this year’s event and expect it to become a staple within our community.”

This year’s two-day activity line-up will include approximately 20 live performances across two stages placed throughout the fairgrounds, including music bands and entertainers to historians, storytellers, and comedians. A selection of this year’s performers include: The Olson Bros, King Youngblood, and Fortress of the Bears on Friday 29th; and SYLKROAD, COASTER, Enchantrix, and Cascade Cody on Saturday 30th, among others.

The event’s planning committee is seeking additional corporate sponsors to help cover specific operational costs and activities. Those in the entertainment industry are also encouraged to reach out for openings within the performance schedule that weekend, and volunteers will be needed for the event’s day-of activities, including parking attendant and garbage duties. Interested parties are asked to email skagitsocial@gmail.com for more information or to sign up.
