, EDM, and comedy acts. As of 2012 the festival featured five stages: ''Sasquatch! Main Stage'', '' Bigfoot Stage'', ''Banana Shack'' (a tent that featured primarily comedy acts and electronic music- now known as El Chupacabra), '' Yeti Stage'', and ''Uranus Stage'' (the smallest of stages, that generally changed names every year, but was not present from 2017 onward). Most attendees of the festival camped in designated campsite fields nearby, as the venue is relatively remote and there are no large urban areas nearby. Sasquatch! was voted as one of the "Top 10 Summer Music Festivals in the US" by ConcertBoom.

Weekend of Sasquatch was cancelled. Jeff Trisler, President of Live Nation, released the following statement upon the announcement: "The Sasquatch! community has spoken. They continue to support the traditional Memorial Day Weekend event with great enthusiasm," Jeff Trisler, president of Live Nation Seattle, said in a statement. "Unfortunately, the second weekend was not embraced. We felt it was better to cancel the new event now and give everyone time to make alternative plans for the Fourth of July weekend. Going forward, Sasquatch! Music Festival will be at the Gorge Amphitheatre on the weekend the fans want: Memorial Day Weekend only." On June 28, 2018, Zacks officially announced that Sasquatch! Music Festival would cease operation indefinitely and would not be returning in 2019.
