There's a fried dough place as your walking into the lilac festival by the hammock swings they have the best prices and biggest fried dough you have ever seen!!!!

A penultimate Rochester event.Grab fair food, see excellent arts&crafts, catch a band, and your children will be kept busy with activities for them too.Don't forget to smell-test the lilac bushes? ;-)

One of the prettiest festivals I've been to. Carnival style lemonade is always good too!
