Bring the UFO Festival Energy to Your Backyard with Hoop Roswell
Every July, thousands of visitors flood the streets of Roswell, New Mexico — cameras ready, tinfoil hats gleaming — for one of the most famous events on Earth: the Roswell UFO Festival. It’s a weekend of glowing lights, music, costumes, and mystery that keeps this desert town buzzing long after the spaceships “fly home.”
But what if you could capture that same excitement any time of year?
That’s where Hoop Roswell (@hooproswell) lands.
This isn’t just another event rental. It’s a mobile arcade basketball trailer — an LED-lit, high-energy experience that feels like something straight out of Area 51. Whether you’re planning a birthday, company event, or neighborhood get-together, Hoop Roswell brings the otherworldly vibe of the UFO Festival right to your driveway.
The Spirit of Roswell’s UFO Festival
Roswell doesn’t need an introduction when it comes to aliens. Since the 1947 “incident,” the town has become ground zero for UFO enthusiasts, artists, and curious travelers from across the globe. The annual UFO Festival is the highlight — with parades, laser light shows, costume contests, concerts, and glowing night markets that take over Main Street.
Hoop Roswell captures that same spirit. Its LED lights flash like a landed spacecraft, the sound system hums with energy, and the competitive basketball games keep crowds cheering like they’ve just witnessed a real close encounter.
When that trailer pulls up, people can’t help but stop, stare, and smile.
What Is Hoop Roswell?
Hoop Roswell is a mobile arcade basketball trailer — a self-contained entertainment unit featuring four side-by-side arcade basketball games inside a sleek, professionally wrapped 16-foot trailer.
Inside every setup, you’ll find:
Four full-size arcade hoops with electronic scoring
Bright LED lighting that glows like an alien ship at night
Bluetooth sound system for music or event announcements
Roswell-themed exterior design — a nod to the city’s cosmic heritage
Quick setup and teardown, fully managed by a local team
When @hooproswell rolls in, your guests don’t just get entertainment — they get a show.
From Main Street to Your Backyard
You don’t need the UFO Festival to feel that extraterrestrial buzz. Hoop Roswell can bring it to you anywhere:
A driveway in East Roswell
A corporate parking lot on Main Street
A community park near Cielo Grande Recreation Area
Or even the desert backdrop of your ranch property under the stars
Setup takes only about 15 minutes. Once powered up, the trailer becomes a magnet for excitement. The lights pulse, the scoreboards flash, and laughter fills the air.
It’s like a UFO landing — but one that brings hoops instead of probes.
