This year, they are taking a different approach.
Due to the pandemic, the county is hosting a "Bigfoot Scavenger Hunt" instead of the usual celebration which was called off in July.
How it works is locals and visitors will hunt for Bigfoot emblems which are scattered throughout the county. The list of emblems is available online or at the McDowell County visitor center. Then go hunting!
County tourism officials say it will take you all throughout the area.
"Bigfoot is the social distancing champion of the world," Landdis Hollifield with McDowell County Tourism told WLOS. "There are a lot of traditional businesses that have been in the community for a while that are part of the hunt, and some new ones further out that are going to test people's knowledge."
