The 2025 Exeter UFO Festival, Exeter, NH

---

The 2024 Exeter UFO Festival was a huge success. We had record attendance, record revenue and everyone had a great time!

As always, all profits from the Festival went to deserving children and families served by Seacoast charities and organizations. 

Now...are you ready for the 2025 Exeter UFO Festival? Planning is now well underway for the 2025 Festival, which will run on Saturday, August 30th and Sunday August 31st.

As always, the Exeter UFO Festival coincides with Labor Day weekend -- and the anniversary of the famous "Incident at Exeter." 

This is the 60th Anniversary of the Incident at Exeter. On September 3rd, 1965, 18-year-old Norman Muscarello reported to the Exeter Police his sighting of an unidentified flying object behind a barn in Kensington. As the Exeter police investigated the site, they too saw the object hovering where Muscarello had seen it. Headlines nationwide told the story. The rest became history as the police and investigators nationwide tried to determine what young Muscarello saw that night.

The Exeter Area Kiwanis annually sponsors a celebration of this event: The Exeter UFO Festival. Events, activities and our speaker venue are centered in downtown Exeter NH.

The Exeter Kiwanis Club -- producers of the annual Exeter UFO Festival -- are planning lots of fun and interesting activities: a full slate of well-known speakers, children's’ events, merchandise, trolley rides, music in the park, a jazz concert, and much more!

Merchants and restaurants throughout Exeter join in on the fun.
