Rules and tips
A good turnout at the first food truck rodeo of the season at the Public Market in 2023.
The Rochester Public Market has limited parking and seating. Some tips:
Carpool with friends. If you drive, the market recommends parking at its large lot on Scio Street and taking the footpath/footbridge over North Union Street.
There’s plenty of bike parking, but you may not take your bike into the event area. Nor may you use skateboards, in-line skates or drones.
Take folding tables and chairs, as seating is limited.
Leave pets at home (with the exception of service animals).
The market allows one sealed water bottle per person.
Take a raincoat or umbrella if rain is in the forecast; the events are held rain or shine, and there are limited areas under cover.
Shirts and shoes must be worn.
All bags are subject to search.
