Nestled in the heart of Oregon’s wine country, on the native Kalapuya lands, you’ll find McMinnville, Oregon: a warm, inviting, and genuinely friendly destination. Whether it’s the nostalgic feeling of walking below the twinkle-light filled trees lining the historic downtown or enjoying some of the world’s best Pinot noir, you’re sure to experience the warmth of the people you’ll meet in McMinnville. Farm-to-table restaurants, shopping, wine tasting, arts and culture, and lodging experiences as welcoming as the town itself are waiting for you in McMinnville.
Philip Glass’s musical melodrama about extraterrestrials, 1000 Airplanes on the Roof isn’t officially part of this year’s UFO Festival in McMinnville, but the timing of two upcoming performances by Third Angle New Music at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum couldn’t be better.
Perhaps you’ve heard of the Trent UFO sighting that inspired our local McMenamins UFO Festival. Even if you didn’t know the name, you’ve probably seen the black and white photo snapped by local farmer Paul Trent in 1953, one of the most famous in ufology.
But consider this: In the time that the festival has been drawing the nation’s top ufologists to McMinnville and filling Third Street with a celebration of all things alien, more than three thousand UFOs have been reported across Oregon, more than 60 of which came out of Yamhill County.
