Rochester’s Downtown Definitely Events series returns in June
Listen to this articleThe Downtown Definitely Events series returns to Rochester for a fifth year starting June 10, with Game Night on the Riverway added to a lineup that already includes movies, the monthly Midday Bash and the RPO Under the Stars concert.
The series begins in June and runs into September, with a variety of daytime and evening events, either at Parcel 5 on East Main Street or the Austin Seward Plaza along the Genesee Riverway.
The 2025 series drew 18,550 guests as Definitely Downtown builds momentum as a signature summer series for residents, visitors and downtown workers.
As the fastest growing neighborhood in the region, downtown is adding more places to eat and drink, more things to do and see, and more people, each day,” Galin Brooks, president and CEO of the Rochester Downtown Development Corp., said in a news release. “We hope everyone takes a moment this summer to join in on the fun.”
The series kicks off with the first of four monthly Midday Bash parties on June 10 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Parcel 5. The others are set for July 8, Aug. 5 and Sept. 9.
Other events include:
• Yoga on the Riverway, on June 30, July 21, and Aug. 11, from noon to 1 p.m.
• Game Night on the Riverway, featuring table games and food trucks on June 11, Aug. 27 and Sept. 17, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
