Get to Know your Neighborhoods

If you’ve spent much time in this or any other American city, you’ve likely witnessed change happening at the neighborhood level. NeighborWorks’ Celebration of Rochester Neighbors is a block party honoring all the great people who are acting as leaders and making a difference in our local neighborhoods. The party will be held the evening of Monday, June 4th, at the City of Rochester Public Market, and the whole city is invited! In addition to being an opportunity to recognize change-makers, it will be a showcase for Neighborhood Associations and Block Clubs, each sharing what makes their part of #ROC an awesome place to be! This event, which will feature live music and food vendors, is perfect for anyone new to Rochester, considering homeownership, looking to get more involved, or planning a move within the city.
