Download the 2023 Special Event Schedule! COMMUNITY GARAGE SALES
Imagine dozens of garage sales, all lined up together so you don't have to drive from place to place. You need not imagine it because you can see it for yourself at the Market. An amazing array of collectibles, curios, and much more! Cafes and shops open on the Market and in the surrounding Market District too. Free admission.
FLOWER CITY DAYS
The Flower City earns bragging rights when the Rochester Public Market comes alive in May and June with its legendary horticultural sales--row upon row of annuals, perennials, shrubs and garden ornamentation. All available just in time for spring planting! Come with your garden questions and get answers from Cornell Cooperative Extension's Master Gardeners. Bring plant containers, and take some home, through our give-take plant container exchange program! Cafes and coffee shops open on the Market and in the surrounding Market District too. Free admission.
See the Flower City Days web page.
