Cardwell UFO Festival, Annual UFO celebration in Cardwell, Australia.
The Cardwell UFO Festival is a three-day event in August featuring exhibitions, discussion forums, and activities focused on unexplained aerial phenomena. The program includes local markets, food vendors, entertainment areas, and an Alien Invasion costume party throughout the celebration.
The festival began in 2014 following numerous reports of mysterious lights and unexplained aerial sightings across Queensland. Its creation was inspired by local events such as the puzzling Tully Saucer Nests.
The festival creates a space where visitors share their experiences with unexplained aerial events and connect with others who have witnessed similar phenomena. People feel welcome here to discuss their observations and build connections with those who share their interests.
The site can be explored easily on foot and is well-organized for visitors during the festival period. Wear comfortable shoes as you will walk through outdoor areas, and check local information before visiting since conditions can change with the weather.
This is the only festival of its kind in Australia and has been featured on lists of notable celebrations across the continent. What makes it special is how it transformed a local story and regional interest into a gathering that brings people together from all over.
