FYFFE, Ala. — The 12th Annual Fyffe UFO Days will be held this Saturday, August 27th, at the Fyffe Town Park.

“I want to welcome everyone to Fyffe, and I hope everyone who comes out has an exciting, fun-filled day,” said Fyffe Mayor Katy Woodall. “Our town employees are the ones who put this on, and they’ve spent many hours working to prepare this year’s event.”

The festival has plenty of activities planned throughout the entire day. “We try to have something for everyone,” Woodall explained.

The hot air balloon rides are the most popular event.

There will be plenty of musical acts performing, inflatables for the children, a 5K race, an antique car and tractor show, hot air balloons, and much more. “By far, the hot air balloons are our most popular event,” Brandi Clayton, Fyffe’s Town Clerk and key organizer for the event, said.

“We have a wide variety of vendors coming and setting up as well. There’ll be food vendors, people with different arts and crafts, and there’s even a guy coming with turtles and other reptiles.”
