The Roswell UFO Festival is an annual celebration held in Roswell, New Mexico over the 4th of July weekend.
The festival commemorates and celebrates the crash (and subsequent government cover-up) of a UFO northwest of Roswell, NM in 1947. The festival events usually spread across four days, from an opening celebration on Thursday evening to a closing fireworks display Sunday night.

Festival activities center around the Roswell UFO Museum located in downtown Roswell. The museum is located in the converted movie theater. Not much about downtown Roswell has changed since 1947, which makes a great backdrop for this truly original, American celebration.
The whole town decorates in anticipation of the festival and much of the artwork in shop windows stays in place througout the year. Looks like this year's festival is going to be the best ever.
I attended the 2011 Roswell UFO Festival. Here are some of the events we saw and advice on attending the festival and visiting Roswell.
