EDINBURG — The city of Edinburg’s 12th annual UFO Festival kicked off its opening night on Friday, in which people across the Rio Grande Valley gathered at the Edinburg City Hall Courtyard to take part in wacky UFO activities.
Walking through the courtyard one could see attendees in their favorite UFO attire such as T-shirts, sweaters, headbands, and even face paint displaying little green men.
Some attendees even brought their pets dressed as extraterrestrials; in fact, one dog walked around with its fur dyed pink and silver.
