Welcome to the Burien UFO Festival, where the extraordinary and the inexplicable come together for an event that’s truly out of this world! 🚀

Are you ready for an adventure that’s a little left of Mars? Then circle your calendars, because BUFO is back and it’s bigger, bolder, and more extraterrestrial than ever! Whether you’re a UFO enthusiast, a cosmic curious, or just in it for the galactic giggles, there’s something for everyone at this year’s festival.

Dive into the mystery with presentations from speakers who’ve traversed the space-time continuum (or at least have some pretty cool stories about those who might have). From the legendary tales of Art Bell to the groundbreaking sightings by Kenneth Arnold, prepare to have your mind expanded wider than the universe.

But wait, there’s more than just talk! Strap in for an interstellar journey with our Liminal Earth presentation, join the Weekly Wednesday UFO Watch Parties, and don’t miss the chance to share your own close encounters.

Feeling competitive? Our Costume Contest is your chance to shine like a supernova in categories that range from “Most Convincing Men In Black” to “Galactic Good Dog.” Or, if you prefer the silver screen to silver suits, the Film Festival showcases the best in UFO-themed cinema.

Fuel up at The Village Perk and other food trucks serving dishes so good, they’re almost alien. And don’t forget to check out the eclectic mix of artists, crafters, and vendors offering everything from 3D-printed UFOs to alien-inspired art.

With live music to keep you dancing until the stars come out (and maybe even make contact), BUFO is the place to be for earthlings and extraterrestrials alike. So, bring your curiosity, your costumes, and your love for all things unexplained to Olde Burien for a festival that’s sure to be talked about in galaxies far, far away.

Beam yourself over to BUFO for a cosmic celebration that’s out of this world. Trust us, it’s going to be a blast!
