October 9 – October 11, 2026 · 4 events
This weekend in Roswell, New Mexico brings 4 live events across the city. Here's what's on.
Roswell leans into its 1947 legend with total commitment, and the UFO Festival each July is the payoff — a weekend of costume contests, alien-themed parades, guest speakers, and live music that draws tens of thousands of believers and skeptics alike to this high-plains city. The International UFO Museum and Research Center anchors a downtown where even the streetlights have alien eyes. Beyond the saucers, the Eastern New Mexico State Fair brings rodeo and concerts each fall, and a growing downtown arts scene adds gallery walks and community events. It is small-city Americana with a delightfully weird twist.
1 event is listed for Sunday, including Luke Borchelt w/ Doso Dirtbags at The Liberty, Inc. Events that start earlier in the weekend may still be running Sunday; open an event for its current schedule.
