Indigenous Peoples Day at Cobbs Hill Park — Community Celebration Monday, October 12

On October 12, Rochester's Indigenous Peoples Day celebration gathers at Cobbs Hill Park — a community day honoring the history, culture, and ongoing presence of Indigenous peoples across this region. Rochester and the surrounding area sit on the ancestral homeland of the Haudenosaunee, and October 12 is a day the city has embraced as a time to acknowledge that relationship and celebrate Indigenous contributions to our shared community. Cobbs Hill Park, with its open meadows and panoramic views of the city, offers the kind of space where a community can gather, breathe, and honor something larger than any one neighborhood.

Date: Monday, October 12, 2026 Time: TBD Location: Cobbs Hill Park, Rochester, NY Cost: Free

Programming details and organizer information will be announced as October 12 approaches — follow Rochester's Indigenous community organizations and the City of Rochester's events page for updates.
