Somewhere between history, mystery, and your third beer, things get a little hazy.

Welcome to Area 573: Aliens & Ale. A night where Cape Girardeau’s strangest story gets the spotlight it deserves.

Hosted by the fine frequency wranglers at 93.9 Mike FM, this one-night-only experience lands at Scout Hall and takes you straight back to April 1941, when a supposed UFO crash lit up the skies over Cape Girardeau and sparked one of the Midwest’s strangest legends.

We’ll kick things off with a dramatic retelling of the infamous encounter, setting the scene before first contact is made. With your beer flight.

Settle into our outdoor biergarten setup and enjoy a curated tasting from Craft Republic.

Each ticket includes a flight of beers (full lineup coming soon), plus a spread of appetizers and free popcorn to keep you grounded.

After the tasting, grab another round AND quote-along to a free outdoor screening of Spaceballs. Because nothing pairs with UFO lore and cold beer quite like The Schwartz.

Your mission includes:

• A live retelling of Cape’s 1941 UFO crash story
• A full beer flight per guest
• Included food (details landing soon) and popcorn
• Outdoor biergarten vibes under the stars
• A free screening of Spaceballs to close out the night
• The first 50 tickets sold receive a FREE Area 573 t-shirt!

Costumes? Encouraged.

Belief in aliens? Optional.

Good time? Statistically inevitable.
