The spring and summer always brings a little something for everyone. For almost 18 weeks, the Greater Rochester Area will host festival after festival. If you're bored over the next few months, that's on you.
Rochesterians will have every reason to get out into the sun, from celebrating Highland Park in bloom (the Lilac Festival) and the Erie Canal (Low Bridge, High Water; Fairport and Spencerport Canal Days) to supporting local artists on Park Avenue or at the Clothesline Arts Festival. There are the big, downtown festivals — the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival in June and the KeyBank Rochester Fringe Festival in September — and one-day, community festivals like the 19th Ward Square Fair on June 3 and the Joseph Avenue Festival on July 29.
