About the Festival
The Carbondalien Festival is a quirky annual UFO-themed festival held in Carbondale, PA. It celebrates a famous local mystery from 1974, when residents reported that a glowing object crashed into the pond at Russell Park. Some people believed it was a UFO, while skeptics said it may have been a railroad lantern or another ordinary object.
The festival mixes small-town fun, sci-fi culture, paranormal curiosity, and local history. Admission is generally free, though some attractions require tickets.
