On June 22, 1947, one day after Harold Dahl saw six flying discs of Maury Island, Washington, he encountered history’s first alleged “men in black.” And unknowingly launched a mythological and pop culture juggernaut we all know today. So, each year, on the 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.L﻿earn more at <a href="https://mibbbfest.squarespace.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.MIB622.com.</a>
