If you visit Roswell, New Mexico for the sole intention of seeing the annual UFO Light Parade, then expect to be disappointed. Visit Roswell not just for the parade, but for the festival in general. The light parade will only last 30 minutes or so, but the festival will run for 3 days. The main street of Roswell is closed for the weekend of festivities as long lines of food and handicraft stalls decorate the alley.
