Market in the Park

Join us for Market in the Park, a one-day event that brings together local plant vendors, garden clubs, and the community in celebration of gardening, sustainability, and small business!

Held on the stunning grounds of Warner Castle, adjacent to Highland Park, this Memorial Day weekend tradition is all about supporting local growers and uplifting small businesses right here in our community.

• Shop a curated selection of plants, garden goods, and unique finds from local, small-scale vendors
• Get expert gardening advice from Master Gardeners of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County
• Connect with fellow plant lovers and learn more about local garden clubs

This event is a continuation of the beloved “Proud Market,” hosted for 23 years by the Rochester Civic Garden Center. When RCGC closed in 2018, the Master Gardeners took up the torch and renamed the event “Market in the Park”—honoring its legacy while building a fresh future.

 Free admission | Rain or shine | All are welcome!

Come grow with us—and help us keep this community tradition blooming
