The 47th Annual Corn Hill Arts Festival in Rochester brought the crowds under sunny skies and warm temps on Saturday and more of the same is expected on Sunday.
Recognizing artists in a variety of mediums, this year’s Festival places a focus on musical arts.
The festival features hundreds of artists, four stages of continuous live music and the Emerging Artists Expo. Organizers say it is one of the largest all volunteer run festivals in the country.
The Corn Hill Arts Festival is a juried art show of fine arts and crafts. Contributing artists come from throughout the United States and Canada.
With a renewed focus on the musical arts, this year’s festival will feature 28 free performances across four stages throughout the two-day event.
Funds raised during the Corn Hill festival are used by the Neighborhood Association for a variety of community needs, including protecting and promoting the historical character and beauty of the area.
The festival continues on Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
There are free shuttles again on Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
