Events

Park Ave Fest

During the dog days of summer, you can always find a place to relax in the shade on Park Ave. And during the Park Avenue Arts Festival, one of the essential parts of a summer in Rochester, you can get some great crafts and foods provided by merchants and vendors from across the country. If you need any help or have any questions along your way up and down the curvy avenue, WXXI will be there to assist you. Stop by our booth on August 2 or 3 for information about our programs, the city, and more.

Speaking of Women’s Health Conference tickets

All day on September 19, you have the chance to go live a day of luxurious healthfulness. Thirty-five dollars might sound like a lot to spend on a ticket to the Speaking of Women’s Health Conference at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center, but consider what you get: breakfast, lunch, the chance to hear a nationally known speaker, free health screenings and a gift bag (valued at $150).

The 2008 Speaking of Women's Health Conference is now sold out. To put your name on the waiting list for next year's conference, where you'll have first dibs on tickets, please call 585-258-0203.

Clothesline Fest

The oldest arts event in Rochester, the Clothesline Festival and WXXI share a common objective of benefiting life-long education. As vendors come in from over 50 New York counties, the booth fees go towards community art enrichment programs, and Memorial Art Gallery exhibit improvements. Keep this late-summer tradition alive by supporting the artisans and art education. Come out to the WXXI booth at Clothesline Festival at the beautiful, 17-acre Gallery campus on September 6 and 7.
