We're looking forward to next year!
Well… something’s stirring in the woods.
After a few weeks of post-festival hibernation, the Sasquatch Festival crew is slowly emerging from our caves, brushing the pine needles out of our fur, and returning to civilization.
And now that we’ve had a minute to recover… we have SO much to share.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be digging through and sharing photos, videos, favorite moments, stories, and memories from the 2026 Elgin Sasquatch Festival. We’ll also be rolling out our post-event surveys for attendees, vendors, sponsors, volunteers, committee members, and local businesses. Your feedback is incredibly important as we look at what worked, what we can improve, and what kind of mischief Sasquatch should get into next year.
But before we get too far down the trail, we need to say a HUGE THANK YOU.
To our volunteers and paid event crew who jumped in wherever they were needed…
To our musicians, performers, speakers, and entertainers who kept things going…
To our vendors who packed downtown Elgin…
To our sponsors who believed in this slightly ridiculous idea and helped make it possible…
To our community partners, local businesses, organizations, City crews, emergency personnel, and everyone behind the scenes who helped us pull it all together…
And to every single person who showed up.
You helped turn a brand-new idea into something pretty darn special.
We also appreciate everyone who has been patient with us while our little volunteer crew took some much-needed time to recover after the event. Putting on Sasquatch took a village, and apparently the village needed a nap.
But hibernation is ending.
Keep an eye on this page for photos, memories, surveys, recaps and plenty more from 2026. And over the next few months, we’ll start dropping updates about Elgin Sasquatch Festival 2027 as we get the next adventure rolling.
Turns out you can’t keep Sasquatch hidden for long.
We’re baaaaack.
