Ongoing Initiatives 

This purpose of this page is to illustrate Rochester Main Street's ongoing community efforts. Check back frequently for updates. 

In addition to the following projects, RMS is also exploring various projects to infuse more vibrancy into the downtown. Project ideas include stage upgrades to the Central Square stage, additional flower pots, percussion wall, adding more Edison stringed lights, lighted fountain in the Cocheco River.

Bigfoot

Rochester Main Street welcomes children and families to participate in the most unusual scavenger hunt in Rochester's history... Each summer, our volunteers hide 10 colorful Bigfoot cutouts throughout the downtown area, all within a safe walking distance from one another. Participants solve clues to find them all and submit their names into our raffle. It's fun for the whole family!

Downtown Planters

This project includes maintenance of previous plantings (including our pollination gardens) as well as additional landscaping work throughout downtown. It also includes our flower barrels. If you or your organization would like to volunteer on this Project Please contact our office by email.

Shopping with Santa

Each year, Santa visits downtown Rochester to surprise as many businesses as possible. His mission is to find the perfect gift for Mrs. Claus while encouraging the community to support the downtown economy. Santa takes as many pictures as possible and promotes the businesses on social media.

Clean-ups

Want to get involved? Join us for one of our many downtown clean-ups. We focus on public parks, playgrounds, and wherever else there is a need. Led by the founders of Rochester Rise Up, these clean-up days are a great way to meet your neighbors, clean up an area in need, and make a difference in the community. Bring your rakes, shovels, and gloves!

Scarecrows

Every Fall, Rochester Main Street partners with the City of Rochester's Public Works Department to put up scarecrows throughout the downtown area. Volunteers gather donations to dress and repair the scarecrows each year.
