Rochester Main Street is excited to announce the return of the Kids Summer Series, a free, family-friendly event series bringing games, activities, vendors, and downtown fun to Rochester throughout the summer.

The 2026 Kids Summer Series is organized by Rochester Main Street and made possible through the generous support of community partners. Fidium Fiber is the event sponsor for this year’s series, and Sage’s Entertainment is serving as the presenting partner, helping add even more fun and excitement to the events.

The Kids Summer Series will take place on June 28, July 18, July 25, August 15, and August 19, with each event featuring its own theme, including Teddy Bear Picnic, Bubble Bash, Carnival of Smiles, Dinosaur Day, and Legends & Little Monsters.

Each event will include a variety of vendors, games, activities, and more. Guyer Travel will also be joining Rochester Main Street at each event, collecting backpack supplies to support local students while bringing additional fun for families.

“Last year we saw between 50–75 families, and hope to see even more this year,” said Rochester Main Street Events Committee Chair Mandie Smith. “Bringing families downtown for free fun is not only the right thing to do, it helps get people downtown exploring the downtown businesses.”

Rochester Main Street’s Kids Summer Series is designed to create welcoming, family-focused opportunities for the community to gather downtown while supporting local businesses and encouraging families to explore all that downtown Rochester has to offer.

Anyone interested in volunteering, participating as a vendor, or sponsoring additional activities is encouraged to contact Rochester Main Street at RochesterNHMainStreet@gmail.com.
