Cryptid lovers of Central Florida, unite. The Great Bigfoot Conference is back. The celebration of and investigation into all things Bigfoot (and Skunk Ape!) is back for a fourth year, but believers will have to drive a bit to get there.

Organizers are even taking applications for anyone interested in sharing their Bigfoot encounter onstage.
