Roc City Weekend

This weekend welcomes two of the best Rochester summer festivals: East End Music Fest (2) and the Corn Hill Arts Festival. But with the hours of events and multiple stages to watch, here's our take on what's coming, and what you can't miss.

East End Music Fest Part Deux- Friday night. The second of the summer series, six stages feature many bands across several genres from 5:30-9:45. We once again recommend planting yourself at the Metromix/Insider stage on Broadway for the whole night.

Don't miss: Battle of the Bands winner, Avenue You and local favorites, The Hoodies. Both are an undeniable mix of punk, pop and attractive band members. Headliner is Rochester natives, the Sunstreak.
The Hoodies

Corn Hill- Saturday and Sunday. This annual festival is a chance to stroll the beautiful historic neighborhoods of Corn Hill, while perusing art and ethnic food vendors and rocking out to some very chill bands. Nearly the whole weekend is packed with salt-of-the-earth music- blues, folk, jazz, Americana and funk.

Don't miss: Saturday at 3:30 Po’ Boys Brass Band- Funky New Orleans horns. Their cover of Led Zepplin's Black Dog makes us want more. Sunday at 10:15 brings the bluesy, funky, mellow sounds of The DeLinquents. Perfect for the discerning ear, and pounding hangover headache.
