MAKING THE MARKET MORE
Getting involved with The Friends is a great way to get immersed in the life and culture of the Rochester Public Market. Here’s a quick glimpse at what we do, why we do it, and the impact it has on our community.

artist row juried art show
We began this juried art show in 2004! It replaces the fruits and veggies of the Market with local musicians, food trucks, the unique creations of nearly 200 up-and-coming artists, and more than 20,000 attendees. It’s a must-do come September!
