MIBBB FEST

6/22 - THE ORIGINAL MEN IN BLACK BIRTHDAY BASH

The party that celebrates the true birthplace of the Men in Black mythology and launch of the 1947 Summer of the Saucers!

Dates: 6/21 - 6/22, 2024

Place: Quarterdeck, Des Moines, Washington & Harper Studios, Des Moines, Washington

Why this party? On June 22, 1947, the day after Harold Dahl saw six flying discs of Maury Island, Washington, he encountered history’s first alleged “men in black.” On the 77th Anniversary of the first “men in black” warning, MIBBB Fest celebrates the event - in “black-and-white” - on the shores of Puget Sound, in the sunset shadow of Maury Island.

Held each year in Des Moines, Washington, MIBBB Fest commemorates history’s first alleged encounter with the so-called “men in black,” the infamous 1947 “Maury Island Incident,” and the top-secret government intervention that followed.

MIBBB FILM PARTY!

MIBBB Film Party is a curated film fest devoted to small films that ask big questions – about reality, mythology, conspiracy, and authority. Films that challenge things we have learned and everything we’ve been told. Past. Future. Or here and now. Terrific stories of the unexplained and unresolved. Do you love the X-File, Twilight Zone, Night Stalker or Black Mirror? Documentaries, narratives, and animation. We won’t reject a musical. If the film reveals some hidden truth about our human condition - we’d love to celebrate it.
