The Lilac Festival is one blooming festival. Martha Stewart has been to this 10-day extravaganza held at Highland Park in Rochester, the only one of its kind in North America. Green thumbed festival growers are awe inspired by the magnificent collection of more than 500 varieties of lilacs blooming on over 1,200 bushes.
Get your fill of hard-hitting sports action as you watch the Rochester Red Wings dominate the baseball diamond. Throughout their years as a franchise, the team has won several league and division titles, meaning you're guaranteed to see a good game when you see the Red Wings play.
Take the family to enjoy a hands-on learning experience at the Rochester Museum & Science Center. At this science center, you'll see attractions like spectacular laser light shows set to music at the museum's Strasenburgh Planetarium, and films presented on the planetarium's four-story dome. Check out the center's calendar and participate in family activities, classes, and camps.
