Cardwell is preparing for an out-of-this-world experience as it hosts the 2025 Australian UFO Festival from the 8th to the 10th of August. Now in its fourth year, the festival continues to grow in popularity, drawing curious minds from across the country to explore the mysteries of the universe.
The weekend will feature a wide range of activities, with something for believers, sceptics, and families alike. A major highlight is the return of the C-Files Forum, a two-day event packed with presentations from UFO researchers and experiencers. Among the headline speakers is author Rowan Bo, who will present insights from her new book The Travellers – An Experiencer’s Guide to Extraterrestrial Disclosure. Fellow researcher Grant Lavac will also take the stage, discussing Australia’s slow response to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs).
Alongside the forum, visitors can enjoy a lively program of community events, including the Monster Market Day, crab races, a car boot sale, and Cosmic Kids HQ. The Alien Invasion Foreshore Party on Saturday night promises to be a crowd-pleaser, with family-friendly fun and a festive atmosphere.
The Australian UFO Festival is known for blending serious discussion with light-hearted fun, making it one of the most unique events on the regional calendar. Whether you're passionate about extraterrestrial life or just looking for a quirky weekend of all things extraterrestrial, Cardwell is the place to be.
