Dozens of food trucks representing a wide variety of Rochester’s favorite cuisine will converge at the Market for an evening of local food, local beer and local bands.
Rodeos are held from 5 to 9 p.m. on the last Wednesday of each month through October at the City of Rochester Public Market, 280 N. Union St.
Events are held rain or shine. Remaining Food Truck Rodeos are scheduled as follows:
• Wednesday, July 29: Music by The Tommy Brunett Band (Old-school country, great storytelling and rock ‘n roll);

Food Truck Rodeos—sponsored by Rohrbach Brewing Company and the Market District Business Association—are a popular Rochester summer event. Attendees are encouraged to bring folding chairs as seating is limited on Market grounds.
In addition, the City of Rochester Public Market is proud to partner with the Open Door Mission for the 2015 Food Truck Rodeo season. At each Rodeo this year, attendees are encouraged to purchase and donate Market Gift Tokens to be used to buy fresh, healthy, affordable food from farmers at the Market for meals served at the Mission’s South Plymouth Avenue shelter for the homeless.
