Rochester Celebrates

With Paranormal/UFO Festival September 19

 

 

Rochester Main Street volunteers in cooperation with Jetpack Comics and Seacoast Saucers will celebrate a new festival in downtown on Friday, September 18 and Saturday, September 19 when they visit the unusual with the Paranormal/UFO Festival.  Although some people may be skeptical, the Rochester to Ossipee area has many documented UFO sightings, and a walk through some of our downtown buildings with noted medium Isabeau Esby has set the stage for a haunted tour of downtown Rochester. The festival begins on Friday, September 18 with a “Skywatch” presentation at 7:30 pm in City Hall Chambers in partnership with the NH Astronomical Society. Following the presentation (weather permitting) we will adjourn to the Rochester Commons where attendees will have the chance to search the heavens through telescopes. (There is no charge for attending this event).

On Saturday the Festival opens at 10 am with vendors and demonstrations at the Knights of
Columbus Hall and in the Union Street Parking Lot behind Jetpack Comics. Starting at 10:30 am the Rochester Public Library will screen two free movies: Close Encounters of the Third Kind and ET, and at 11 am the first of two “Haunted History Tours” will step off from the tent at Factory Court. The cost for the tours are $5 per person and you must RSVP and pay in advance at www.rochestermainstreet.org) At 1:00pm the Rochester Opera House will host a Gallery Reading with noted medium Antje Bourdages and tickets are now on sale at the Rochester Opera House for $10 each. (A gallery reading is where a medium will connect with people in the audience and this will prove to be a lively and interesting event).

Throughout the day guests may also visit with mediums and tarot readers at several local business, and a second Haunted History Tour will be offered at 3:00 pm.  Vendor applications are still being accepted and Seacoast Saucers and Seacoast Paranormals will be on site at the Knights of Columbus through 4:00pm with demonstrations and information.
For vendor applications or more information you can call the Rochester Main Street office at 603-330-3208, email director@rochestermainstreet.org or visit www.rochestermainstreet.org.
Information on activities the day of the Festival will be available under the blue tent at Factory Court in the center of downtown.
