UFO Festival in McMinnville 5/18/24

The UFO Festival is an annual event and parade in McMinnville OR. The town comes out to celebrate the weird and wonderful world of extraterrestrial life. The parade winds through town bringing forth a local merchants, doctors offices, high school marching bands, and community outreach programs. Everyone involved is vying to have the best parade float, all having fun, and bringing smiles to the lines of on-lookers. The festivities continue throughout the day with a street fair, food hall sponsored by McMenamins, costume contest, and the all too cute animal costume contest. The town lights up for this one of a kind festival, and it was such a pleasure to explore. I will definitely return.
