Passport Sessions Week One

Join us at Thursdays downtown for our 2025 Passport Sessions!

June 26
July 17
July 31

All shows are 7 - 8:30 PM. Headliners TBA!

Presented annually since 2010, Passport Sessions is a free outdoor music series that celebrates global traditions, cultural connection, and community through live performance in downtown Rochester.

Each concert features world-influenced music—from folk and roots to contemporary cross-cultural blends—performed by artists deeply connected to the traditions they share. Events are family-friendly, un-ticketed, and open to all.

Past performances have included Irish bluegrass, Brazilian hip-hop, Tuvan throat singing and African percussion.
