This event will be held in the Discovery Square sub-district, on 5th Street SW between 1st and 2nd Avenues SW (just west of Pasquale’s restaurant). It will bring together art, science, and community to celebrate the progress that’s already taken place in Discovery Square, and look forward to its promising future. It’s also an opportunity to meet the innovators and entrepreneurs that are already creating great innovations in Rochester.
