The Wayne County Fair makes for a fun evening out. Not a fair you can spend the whole day due to…read morethe size but we spent a few hours out of the house taking in the attractions. Plenty of rides and games available. Local businesses had information booths you could visit and connect with. We also enjoyed the 4H area where all of the animals were on display. The day we came judging had been completed and we were able to see the prize winners. The food vendor selection was your typical fair findings. We enjoyed the birdland popcorn chicken bucket. Huge portion for $10 dollars. We mainly visited for a special fair tasting event: tastes of Wayne county which cost an additional $15 to enjoy. You receive a tasting cup and you could visit as many vendor tables as you like within the closed off area. We ended up purchasing some delicious locally grown popcorn and you could see many attendees leaving with vendor goods.

The Roc Holiday village serves up the coziest vibes. Both evenings I visited it was freezing but…read morethere are various warming stations and fire pits for you to warm up around. The Roc Holiday Village offers plentiful food and shopping options. I enjoyed a tasty hot chocolate from laughing gull chocolates while browsing the shops. I stopped into The Lodge Bar on both visits and got to hear live music! It really put me in a festive and fun mood, having a drink while watching the musicians play Christmas songs. They have games and plenty of seating available in the lodge bar. We also tried out the free ice skating. You have to wait in line to get your free skates. The line moved quickly and we were skating in no time. They have skate mates available which helps to makes the rink accessible to all experience levels. I needed some help and used a skate mate. The city backdrop just added to the overall experience. The Roc Holiday Village was beaming with holiday magic and warmth. How lucky we are to have this attraction in our city. I felt like I was in a Christmas movie.

What a spectacular holiday winter wonderland experience! It runs Dec 1-23 Wednesday through…read moreSundays. This was my first year attending. Parking all around the event, a few garages or if lucky street parking.. read the meters and signs. So many free activities to do, family friendly. Free ice skating, at the MLK outdoor ice rink. Free skate rental too. Great overlook area to people watch. Visit Santa Claus, free picture and a cookie. Crafts and other kid stuff in the gingerbread house. You will need a ticket ahead time for story time w Anna and Elsa. A few rows to shop local vendors and find some treasures. Very unique and hand made items. Some food and beverage options around the shopping village too. Chai, hot cocoa, pizza and donuts to name a few. Lodge bar is huge and open to the public. Grab a table or seat fast. Inside stage with live music and karaoke. A bunch of free games to play as you enjoy a tasty drink at the bar. Cash and credit taken. There are a few bar tastings events.. check their website. My favorite area is the outdoor seating area, scattered with fire pits, chairs and stumps to sit on and enjoy the atmosphere. Nothing beats watching the snow come down with a beverage in hand by a warm fire. They have igloo inns to rent, they seem to sell out way ahead of time. Cozy igloos sit 6-8 people, for 90 minutes. You can preorder food and drinks. You get a server that will bring you drinks and food too. Larger igloos available for 30 or 40 people. All igloos are heated. I was super excited to see one of the monorail cars from midtown mall on display. A great throwback to so many of our childhoods. It wasn't the holidays until you visited magic mountain, sibleys and took a ride on the monorail with your kazoo!

I think most people go for the food and watch the dancing for a bit. The church itself is incredible to see, I was amazed at the stained glass windows, and how beautiful it is inside, definitely worth a walk through if you get the chance. The Gyro's I brought home were delicious! I know it's billed as a festival, but I only spent about a 1/2 hour there, If you like Greek food, I recommend, or do take out like me.

Three days of amazing music on two stages, Charles Wesley Godwin, moe, Tommy Brunetts all star cavalcade and Joan Jett and the blackhearts to name a few! Great seeing Lou Gramm a local favorite. Since it is a whiskey themed event, the world of whiskey was super popular, so many different distilleries showcased. Definitely an incredible experience sampling whiskeys from coast to coast. Iron smoke , Tin cup, den of thrives were some of my favorites. Other options were beers, wine and craft cocktails ... the old fashion was phenomenal! VIP area had a great viewing section and some lovely screwball cocktails... so smooth. Loved the fireside chats they offered, interesting to hear the different speakers talk about their process and love of what they do. Really hope this festival returns next year.. same spot too!!

Artisan Market-Christmas in the Country is located in the Rochester Dome Arena for the ultimate…read moreholiday shopping experience, November 9th-11th, during 2018. The 3 day event featured over 200 artisans and artists from across the country, displaying and selling their unique handcrafted creations including gourmet food, wine and spirits, spa quality bath and beauty products, trendsetting jewelry, handpoured aromatic candles, eco-friendly clothing, pottery, original wall art, woodwork, home décor and holiday gift items galore. 8$ at the entrance for normal adults, 3$ I believe for children and there may have been a military discount. Music in entrance by a local grade school. Overall, you'll find pretty interesting stuff- this market I recalled had more alcohol sampling/wine artisans than most markets I have been to. So if you're into handmade or small wineyard wines, this may be a good place to pick up some. You'll find some strange food concoctions too, ranging from none back cheesecake mixes, German waffle things that basically taste mildly plasticky ensuring their boasted 1 year shelf life, sauces, dips, honeys. I thought it was a good experience- things were well made and nice, but it's not one of those creative/novelle places where one goes to discover inspiration/new trends/abstract art/and new styles. There may be some innovation in the way a method has been done, but for I would give this a 3/5 for trend/novel things. It gets a 4/5 for diversity- would have liked to see more hand work and craftmanship rather than wines/food/stencils/sports team stuff. Prices were also about 4/5- market price or matched other festivals I've frequented.
