If you’re a lover of all things extraterrestrial, the weekend extending from the 8th to the 10th of August has most likely been bolded, outlined, highlighted and set aside for a few months now in anticipation of the infamous Cardwell UFO Festival!
2024 heartbreakingly did not stage the beloved event, however following on from December’s confirmation 2025’s weekend of intergalactic mayhem will go ahead, waves of excitement have continued to build across the community and into the stratosphere.
Over the course of three celestial days in early August, crafts of locals from far and wide will land in Cardwell to experience a plethora of intergalactic attractions and events including a cosmically mind-boggling C-Files Forum!
In years gone by, the C-Files Forum for the Unexplained has hosted international guest speakers covering topics including personal stories of alien encounters, conspiracy theories, alien communications, modern research, mysterious phenomena and more over the entire weekend to a captive audience filled with inquisitive minds.
In early January, the Cardwell UFO Festival Committee asked the public to list the extraterrestrial topics they would love to discuss ahead of 2025’s event and the results were nothing short of interdimensional.
Interferences from those in positions of power within the United States political sphere seem to fuel a galaxy of conspiracies along with the advancements of drones, and figures like Dolores Cannon and Tracey Taylor have also been asked to take the microphone. With a solidified line up yet to be announced, enthusiasts are invited to comment which topics they would like to hear discussed on the Cardwell UFO Festival’s social media pages.
Cardwell as a township has been marked an intergalactic hot spot and has been recognised across the nation following years of unexplainable sightings and alien activity. Publishments dating back to the 1960s detailing close encounters, crop circles, and the notorious “Cardwell Lights” have landed Cardwell on the map and into the history books, making the seaside community an ideal host for the unique celestial celebration.
With specific details and the festival’s full program yet to be announced, all eyes are on www.cardwellufofestival.com.au and the event’s social media pages, with enthusiasts holding out until the only UFO Festival in Australia makes its triumphant return.
