The 58th Annual Corn Hill Arts Festival Returns July 11 & 12 for a Weekend of Art, Music & Family Fun
One of Rochester’s beloved summer traditions is back! The 58th Annual Corn Hill Arts Festival, presented by ESL Federal Credit Union, returns Saturday, July 11 and Sunday, July 12, transforming Rochester’s historic Corn Hill neighborhood into one of the region’s most vibrant celebrations of art, culture, and community.
“What makes the Corn Hill Arts Festival special is the experience of exploring a historic neighborhood while discovering incredible artists, local talent, and community traditions,” said Andie Kopf, 2026 Festival Chair. “We look forward to welcoming visitors for a weekend that celebrates creativity in all its forms.”
Festivalgoers can stroll through nine picturesque neighborhood streets and explore the work of more than 300 juried artists from across the region and the country. The weekend also features live music on four stages including the Constellation Brands main stage, the MVP Health Care Emerging Artist Expo, a wide variety of food and beverage vendors, and interactive experiences for all ages.
Families and festival fans won’t want to miss two weekend favorites. The Fairy House Showcase, presented by Jess DeCotis of Howard Hanna, features creative and whimsical miniature displays crafted by local community members. Visitors can also explore the popular LEGO® Exhibit by ROCLUG inside the air-conditioned Adams Street Recreation Center, where local LEGO® enthusiasts showcase an impressive collection of custom-built creations. This year’s exhibit features an interactive community mural of Rochester’s own ESL Ballpark. Everyone is invited to stop by and contribute to it throughout the weekend.
Attendees are also encouraged to stop by ESL Federal Credit Union’s hospitality tent at Lunsford Circle. Returning for another year, the tent will feature expanded interactive experiences, along with the opportunity to relax and recharge while exploring the festival.
To make the most of festival weekend, attendees are encouraged to visit cornhillartsfestival.com before arriving and explore the interactive map. The map highlights artist booths, food vendors, entertainment stages, shuttle stops, restrooms, and more, making it easy to plan your visit and navigate the festival with ease.
Admission to the Corn Hill Arts Festival is free, and complimentary shuttle service will be available throughout the weekend. Accessible parking areas and handicap-accessible restrooms will also be available to help ensure an enjoyable experience for all visitors.
