Join us in Downtown Rochester for an evening of shopping, dining and live mannequins! Downtown Rochester’s 14th Annual Rochester Posed event is scheduled for Thursday, October 1 from 7:00 - 9:00 pm. This year's theme is Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Participating Downtown Rochester businesses will turn their storefront windows into live mannequin displays.
The public will vote for their favorite live mannequin display. Text-to-vote will be available from 7:00–9:00 pm. Specific details will be listed at each of the participating locations.
We will announce the winning windows for each category on Friday, October 2. The winning business will receive a Rochester Posed trophy. Each window will remain a “surprise” until the unveiling on October 1st.
