History of the Bigfoot Jamboree Parade
The first Bigfoot Jamboree Parade was on September 4, 1967. We do not have access to the Parade Themes and Grand Marshals recoded for the first 33 years. In 1993 there was not a Bigfoot Jamboree. The Happy Camp Coordinating Council led by Rick Huston restarted the event in 1994. Below are the Grand Marshals and Themes from the 34th - 58th Bigfoot Jamboree Parade.
