What better place to search for Sasquatch than the annual Sasquatch Days festival?

In June 2014 I took my youngest two kids across the border into Canada for Sasquatch Days at Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia, a beautiful town on the banks of Harrison Lake.

Everywhere we looked, there were signs of Sasquatch.

It makes sense since the term Sasquatch comes from this very place and they have celebrated Sasquatch Days for nearly a century.

Early in the morning, after the Sasquatch procession and opening ceremony, members of the Sts’ailes Nation line up their canoes on the shoreline and the races begin.

There is a street fair where you can purchase merchandise from artisans and vendors and then feast on salmon bbq for lunch.

The next day we signed up for an ATV tour with a local guide at – where else – Sasquatch Provincial Park.

I don’t recall his name but he told us that he’d been interviewed by the “Finding Bigfoot” show when they were in the area filming. Unfortunately his segment never made it into the episode. He took us deep into the trails that ran along the ridge overlooking the lake.

He paused at the scenic lookout to show us the casts of footprints he’d made over the years.

We didn’t spot a Sasquatch on that trip, but I’ll be headed back for Sasquatch Days this summer. Hope to see you there!

Happy Squatching!
