The Moon Lake Gathering is an annual conference and community event held in Duchesne, Utah, focused on mysteries, hidden history, adventure, and unconventional discoveries. Billed as a “Conference of Mysteries,” it brings together enthusiasts, researchers, storytellers, and explorers interested in topics such as:

—Lost treasures (including Spanish gold, Aztec legends,
and regional caches like those tied to the Kanab area or
“3 Lakes”)
–Ancient American history and alternative archaeology
–Paranormal phenomena (Bigfoot sightings, giants in
America, UFOs)
–Cryptids, curses, and obscure historical artifacts

The event typically spans three days (Thursday through Saturday) in mid-August, with the upcoming 2026 edition scheduled for August 13–15, 2026 at the Centennial Event Center in Duchesne, Utah. Programming includes:

–Keynote speakers and presentations sharing rare stories,
research, and alleged artifacts
–Breakout sessions and workshops (in multiple
rooms)
–Open mic nights, meet-and-greets, and informal
discussions
–Opportunities to connect with like-minded people from across
the country

Past gatherings (such as the well-documented 2025 event held August 14–16) have featured speakers on subjects ranging from Spanish treasure codes and Native American legends to investigative reporting on American historical enigmas. Admission is free, but donations are welcome and much appreciated.

In essence, the Moon Lake Gathering serves as a gathering place for those drawn to the fringes of history, treasure hunting, and the unexplained—where rare knowledge is shared, secrets are debated, and new friendships form around tales most people never hear. More details, speaker announcements, and updates are typically posted via the event’s official website (moonlakegathering.com) and associated social media channels.
