Every Rochester winter needs a place where you can lace up skates, browse handmade gifts, hear live music, and just be with your neighbors — all for free. Roc Holiday Village brings exactly that to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park in the heart of downtown, running on select dates from Thanksgiving weekend through December 20. Ice skating and skate rentals are free thanks to Wegmans, the village market features local vendors, Santa makes regular appearances, and there is live music woven throughout. Private igloos are available for a more cozy gathering.
