Elkfest Weekend
Elkfest is a weekend of activities built around the world-famous Jackson Hole Boy Scout Elk Antler Auction. It is an exciting time for celebrating nature, outdoor skills, hunting, and ecological education and awareness.
The first Boy Scout Elk Antler Auction was in 1968. Since then the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce and partners have been building out the festivities every year. Don't miss the Mountain Man Rendezvous, Teton Powwow, Historic Ranch Tours, High Noon Chili Cookoff, and of course, the Elkfest Sales & Antler Auction.
Elkfest Sales & Antler Auction
Come see the world's best collection of elk antlers (collected by our own Boy Scouts) and bid in the famous Elkfest Elk Antler Auction.
There is a robust market complete with private antlers, paddles, horns, bison skulls, bighorn sheep skulls, and more on the streets surrounding Town Square.
Check back in Spring 2025 for bidder registration information.
