Each year the volunteers at Rochester Main Street partner to bring thousands of people to downtown Rochester for special events, business trainings, forums and send out a weekly e-newsletter along with maintaining a website, Insta-gram and Twitter accounts, and a Facebook page. These activities provide an opportunity for you to market your business to prospective customers while engaging with the community. There are volunteer opportunities and each partnership is geared to what you seek as the best fit in promoting your business. Generally our events are family and young adult friendly and targeted to bring not just local residents, but visitors as well to downtown Rochester. If you have an idea for an event we are also willing to help work with you to produce an event that may be a better fit for your market. Please keep in mind that added events to require additional lead time and prior Board approval as our annual calendar is set in the late fall of each year for the upcoming year. We hope that your business will participate, engage and volunteer in the revitalization efforts of downtown Rochester, NH!
