Art in Rochester

It's that time again. I am prepping to sell my ceramics at an art show this weekend so I'm keeping this blog entry short. Fall in Rochester means lots and lots of art festivals and events, so I made a short list of some of the events I know of happening around town. Students - here are some great ideas for a weekend study break!


Hundreds of largely local artists, plus local food trucks and entertainers! The Public Market has a covered walkway - so it's great rain or shine!
Admission and Parking are Free to the Public!



Visit Artisan Works for a day jam packed with art, live music, dance performances, yoga classes and more. With over 20 local vendors, food and wine tastings, door prizes and a charity raffle.
Tickets are $20 pre-sale and $25 if purchased the day of the event. 


A one-day celebration of local sustainable farming and artisanship, KettleFest will offer plenty to see and do in a beautiful natural environment:
- demonstrations of honey, maple, and mushroom production
- booths with local artisan and food vendors
- awesome local musicians on an outdoor stage
- a variety of workshops in a beautiful log cabin — cooking, beekeeping, and lots more
- children’s events including the soon-to-be-world-famous Chicken Chunnel Races




Located in the already popular Hungerford Building, the first annual Haunted Hungerford will kick off October in a spooky way. Visit a dozen delightfully disturbing studios including a creepy group show, "The Night Gallery." Come in costume for chances to win prizes and enter the studio raffles for even more prize opportunities! Check out the postcard for even more info.

Hate the crowds of First Friday? Come Saturday for great parking!



The second annual Harvest Hootenanny will be held on South Avenue between Gregory Street and Averill Avenue. There will be vendors, food trucks, carnival games, an Oktoberfest-style beer garden, and much more! This year, come out to see a special Wall\Therapy event during the festival, as artists paint a street mural on South Avenue for the neighborhood. Fun activities for kids and adults alike.
