Yeti Fest is the lodge’s annual winter banquet! Yeti Fest is a twist on the typical winter banquet, with a day of fun activities and fellowship beforehand! This is also one of our few Lodge events where non-members and family members are welcome.

Activities have included curling, trivia, card and board games, movies, unlimited hot cocoa and coffee drinking, and so much more! Each Yeti Fest has held a silent auction with patches, Bigfoot swag, scout gear, and more! While there are not any Ordeal or Vigil inductions during Yeti Fest, Ordeal members can seal their membership by completing the Brotherhood Challenge in the afternoon.

The night closes out with a candlelit banquet, showcasing the best of our OA cook crew. Past meals have included ribeye steak, shrimp, pork loin, prime rib, and more! We also recognize the accomplishments and hard work of our lodge leadership and members over the past year with our Founders' Award, James E. West Fellowship, and Arrowman/Adviser of the Year Awards!

Yeti Fest is one of Bigfoot Lodge’s flagship events and one you don’t want to miss!
