McMinnville, Oregon, celebrates its historic UFO connections (in 1950, the destination was home to the Trent UFO sighting) with the annual McMenamins UFO Festival. This year, the fest takes place May 17–18, and includes a range of fun, UFO-themed events, whether or not you truly believe in little green men in flying saucers.

So what can you expect at this event’s 24th year? A celebration of all things extraterrestrial is a given, but more specific events include a UFO parade, 5K and a pet costume contest. There’s also a full schedule of expert speakers, including ufologists; authors; and, yes, even those who claim they’ve experienced their own alien encounters.
