Fayetteville's Cryptid Weekend 2027

March 6–7, 2027 | Downtown Fayetteville & Trails Fayetteville is going full folklore for Fayetteville’s Cryptid Weekend, March 6–7, 2027! Venture into town and the surrounding trails as some of West Virginia’s most legendary cryptids emerge from the shadows. Spot familiar Appalachian legends like Bigfoot and Mothman roaming downtown, popping up along trails, and making surprise appearances throughout the weekend. Bring your camera and see if you can capture cryptids “in the wild” — wandering through town, lurking near trailheads, or blending into everyday Fayetteville life.

Throughout the weekend, enjoy a Cryptid-themed Art Walk through your favorite Fayetteville businesses, with special stops, themed displays, and surprises along the way. Shops, galleries, and community spaces will embrace the strange and unusual as downtown transforms into a playful celebration of West Virginia’s most mysterious creatures. There will also be a cryptid scavenger hunt through town. Whether you’re a folklore fan, an art lover, a photographer, or just curious about what goes bump in the woods — Fayetteville’s Cryptid Weekend is your chance to explore Fayetteville from a whole new perspective.
