Bigfoot Days or Daze

The 59th Annual Bigfoot Daze Celebration takes place on Saturday, August 31, 2019. No matter how you spell it, Bigfoot Daze has been a feature in Willow Creek for nearly 60 years. This family-friendly community event is fun for all ages.  From the ever popular Themed Parade to the traditional Logging Contests, this event is not to be missed.

This non-profit community event relies on generous donations from local businesses, across the county and beyond. All monies raised fund the festivities for next year.  Participation is the best way to donate and have fun at the same time, so join the parade, set up an activity booth, food booth, or retail booth.

This year’s parade theme is “BIGFOOT GOES TO HOLLYWOOD”. What if Bigfoot was an extra in a Hollywood movie – Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Jurassic Park: The Lost World, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, Bird Box or Game of Thrones. Dress as your favorite movie character or star on the red carpet.

Saturday Morning starts with a downtown parade where businesses, non-profits  and community members show off lots of style and creative talent. The Willow Creek – China Flat Museum hosts an ice-cream social after the parade..

Meanwhile Veterans Park is full of food and retail vendors.

Activities include:

• Softball Tournament

• Waterslides, Bounce House and Rock Wall

• Horseshoe Tournament

• Adult and Kids Bikes Games

• Bigfoot Call Contest

• Watermelon Eating Contest

• Logging Competition

• And much more……
