A Day (and Night) to Remember in Rochester...

Nothing makes me realize more what a wonderful town we live in than having guests here for a weekend. Rochester is such an exciting place with so much to offer, to residents and visitors alike. In one day alone you can do such a variety of things.

When we had out-of-town guests we had such a memorable and fun-filled Saturday…all in our own Downtown Rochester! Read this calendar of our “Day in Rochester” to get a taste of what we did. And then head out for you own adventure and…ENJOY!
