About the Event
Every May, McMinnville welcomes Earthlings and extraterrestrials alike for the second-largest UFO festival in the country! Inspired by the famous 1950 UFO sighting just outside of town, this unforgettable three-day celebration blends science, sci-fi, and small-town charm into one cosmic weekend.
From expert panels featuring astronomers and UFOlogists to alien costume contests, pet parades, vendor fairs, and family-friendly fun, the 26th Annual UFO Festival offers something for every curious traveler—whether you’re a true believer or just here for the adventure.
To celebrate the festivities, we’ll be offering:
Special wine discounts 🍷
Extraterrestrials menu 👾
Prizes for guests who come dressed in their best UFO-inspired attire 🛸
Come explore the unexplained and experience the delightfully eccentric spirit of McMinnville with us. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
We’ll be rolling out the patio for extra seating and prime viewing of all the extraterrestrials roaming downtown! 🛸👽
Reservations are not required, but they are highly recommended during festival weekend.
