This weekend it's time for area residents to reach for the stars.

Let's start with Rochester's first-ever Paranormal/UFO Festival in the downtown tonight and Saturday.

The festival will focus on the likelihood of alien creatures and the world beyond, with noted mediums doing Haunted History Tours of downtown and delving into the spirit world beyond at a Rochester Opera House event on Saturday.

Tonight there will be a Skywatch presentation at 7:30 p.m. in City Hall Chambers in partnership with the New Hampshire Astronomical Society. Following the presentation (weather permitting) eventgoers will adjourn to the Rochester Commons where they will have the chance to search the heavens through telescopes. (There is no charge for attending this event).

On Saturday the Rochester Public Library will present free showing of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "ET".

There's much more to the festival. Click here for details.

Eric Paslay ... 'Friday Night' one of his breakout hits.

Tonight also marks the opening of the 140th Rochester Fair with rising country singer Eric Paslay headlining an opening night concert.

There's a special rate for fair admittance, rides and the concert, so check it out here.

Also on Saturday night a crowd favorite, the school bus demolition derby, returns at 7 p.m.

The Rochester Fair runs through Sept. 27.

Finally, if you yearn for a more nature-oriented event looking skyward check out a kite-flying day put on by Three Rivers Land Trust on Sunday.

Part of the Great Maine Outdoor Weekend, it runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Hobb's Farm, 651 Foxes Ridge Road, in Acton.

Kite flying is a great way for families to enjoy the outdoors together and Great Maine Outdoor Weekend is about celebrating all the outdoor recreation events that Maine has to offer.

Bring a picnic lunch and a kite if you have one. The trust will also have some kites to share. Members of the Nor'Easters Kite Club of South Portland will also be participating. They will bring a variety of kites to demonstrate.
