Art Gallery Stroll / Downtown Rochester - Saturday 9/18

Downtown Rochester Fall Gallery Stroll

Friday, September 18, 6:00 – 9:00 pm

Mornings are getting a little cooler, the kids are back in school, you can see a little color in the leaves. Summer is winding down, which means it’s time for the Downtown Rochester Fall Gallery Stroll. The fall stroll this year is scheduled for Friday, September 18th from 6:00 – 9:00 pm. Area residents, visitors and art lovers all look forward to this twice-yearly opportunity to make their way from one Rochester venue to another, enjoying the variety of art and hospitality at each stop along the way.

Pick up a Gallery Stroll card with a map at any of the participating galleries, add your name, address and phone number, and have your card punched at each stop throughout the evening. Completed cards can be dropped off at any gallery on the stroll, to be entered into a drawing for a Downtown Rochester Gift Certificate.
