2026 Exeter UFO Festival

05/09/2026 - 06/09/2026 - 8:30 am - 5:00 pm at Downtown Exeter
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 witnessed the object hovering where Muscarello had seen it. Headlines across the nation covered the story, and the rest became history as police and investigators nationwide sought to determine what young Muscarello observed that night.

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

Local merchants and restaurants throughout Exeter will also join in on the fun.

Stay tuned to this website and our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ExeterUFOFestival for complete and up-to-date details.
