Ongoing Initiatives
Central Square
Continuous improvements to the heart of downtown, including stage upgrades.
Central Square is the heart of downtown Rochester - the stage for community performances, holiday celebrations, and everyday moments in between. Rochester Main Street keeps investing in it with plantings, seasonal decor, and continuous improvements, including upgrades to the stage.
Volunteers keep the square looking its best year-round, from spring planting days to holiday decorating. It’s where downtown gathers, and we treat it that way.
