News Release
(Thursday, April 1, 2021) – Mayor Lovely A. Warren today announced that the City’s Office of Special Events will begin accepting applications for events again. Event applicants will be required to review and adhere to the Governor’s COVID-19 Executive Orders, including any Department of Health guidance, respecting limitations on indoor and outdoor gatherings.
“Rochester has missed its incredible lineup of festivals, concerts, neighborhood gatherings and events the past year. As we slowly reopen, we are excited to see what creative ways our events may decide to reinvent themselves in light of the safety measures still in place,” said Mayor Warren.
