Market Strasse

From the Downtown Rochester website:

Experience an authentic, rustic, cozy European market in the heart of Downtown Rochester! The market features unique gifts, tasty treats, hearty food and drink, children’s activities and horse-drawn carriage rides sponsored by Wells Fargo.

Throughout the month of December, there is a small outdoor European market located in downtown Rochester, called Market Strasse. When I checked it out with my kids, I mostly noticed how small it is. But the idea is charming, and there is one (warmed) building you can go inside that features a story time and craft for children. The admission is free, and it runs from 5-8 p.m. My advice would be to check it out if/when you are already downtown, but don't make a special trip out of it.
