For over a century the City of Rochester Public Market has connected the city, its countryside, and the region's farmers; and has been a source of freshness and value, character and community. Since 1905 the Market has made substantial contributions to the region's economy, ecology, and equity. Supermarkets and corner stores are important conveniences of modern life, but the Public Market offers
special connection to growers, merchants, and fellow customers; the Market is also truly a rich, unique cultural experience. The terrific bargains here stem from the fact that by shopping at the Market, you can buy directly from producers and bypass costs associated with packaging, transportation, and a multitude of middlemen. In addition to at least three regular Market days per week 52 weeks a year, the Market also hosts popular special events such as Flower City Days (horticultural extravaganza), Food Truck Rodeos, Artist Row, Bands on the Bricks, Community Garage Sales, Holidays at the Market, and much more.
