For the last 24 years (minus 2020), the annual UFO Festival has been entertaining families and alien enthusiasts on all things extraterrestrial.

This year Roswell NM welcomes families and fellow extraterrestrial enthusiasts to celebrate all things alien, featuring entertainment, guest speakers, movies, battle of the bands, and much more.

The festival, which expects over 80,000 visitors from all over the world, will descend on Roswell, NM, to be part of the historic day that occurred 74 years ago.

Roswell, NM, is the site of the famous “UFO crash” that allegedly occurred in 1947, where the Army initially reported a UFO crash but then quickly reissued a new statement saying it was instead a weather balloon.

Whatever occurred that day in 1947 has always been shrouded in mystery; even though the Pentagon has changed its story several times over the years, no current explanation has changed the minds of UFO enthusiasts to this day.

Intergalactic cinema experience featuring MIB, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Spaceballs.
