Caroling in the City

Warm up your voices, Dec. 15 from 5 to 8 p.m., Downtown Rochester will be a cornucopia of holiday merriment, complete with live entertainment, Christmas themed contests, holiday sweets and treats and caroling. Head to Main Street with the backdrop of the stunning lights for the festive fun.

City Seeks Volunteers

Holiday Farmers Market

Be sure to stop by the Holiday Farmers Market the next two Tuesdays: Dec. 12 and 19 from 5 to 8 p.m.

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
