Concert on the Common free music series to return in July 2023

The Rochester Recreation Department is thrilled to announce that the annual Concert on the Common free music series will return in July, marking over 90 years of a cherished Rochester tradition.

“Get ready to enjoy free, high-quality music performances all summer long!”

This series will be held every Wednesday, with a rain date of Thursday, to ensure that even unpredictable weather patterns won’t get in the way of the music. Recreation Marketing Program Coordinator Nicole Lee says, “our hope with this change is to ensure more performances over the course of the summer.”

Starting July 12th and ending August 30th, Lee encourages attendees to mark their calendars for a summer full of “wonderful music and good vibes.”
