Parking near the Market tends to fill up fast, so organizers are urging visitors to think ahead. “Nearby parking is limited, so attendees are encouraged to carpool, bike, use transit, or walk to the event.” To stay comfortable while enjoying the festivities, bringing along a folding chair is highly recommended, since seating is limited on the grounds.

The City of Rochester Food Truck Rodeos are made possible through the support of the City itself, Rohrbach Brewing Company, and the Market District Business Association. For anyone looking for more information about the events, the City has set up a dedicated page at www.cityofrochester.gov/foodtruckrodeo.
