Front Porch Holiday Decorating Contest
Combining a love of all things Christmas and front porches, the city created the first-ever Front Porch Holiday Decorating Contest. It’s easy to participate: Deck out your front porch for the holidays.
A team of holiday experts will tour the town the week of Dec. 16 and select the home that has the most holiday spirit. The winners will receive a one-night stay at the Royal Park Hotel, plus a $100 Downtown Rochester gift certificate. The deadline to register is Dec. 15.
There are only two rules:
1. Homes must be located in the City of Rochester
2. Decorating must be completed by Dec. 16
