This weekend is made for summer fun!

Rochester's trendy Park Avenue boasts an eclectic mix of artistic boutiques, cozy cafes and charming stores. The Chrysler Park Ave Summer Art Fest brings over 300 artists from the United States and Canada and more than 30 musical acts on three stages and two performance areas. It's no wonder this is the most anticipated Rochester Festival of the year! Delicious food ranges from festival fare to calamari salad to chocolate dipped key lime pie on a stick. Save some room for some kettle korn and fresh-squeezed lemonade!

This is a family-friendly event!
