SUMMARY:Christmas Traditions in Rochester Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a walk through the streets of downtown Rochester under the big\, bright lights and visit the sites of Christmas’ past. We will stroll down Walnut where sleigh bells once jingled on snowy nights and the churches were decorated with candlelit Christmas trees in the 19th century. We will discuss the various Christmas themed events held at Palmer’s Rink and the Opera House and the town’s long forgotten hotels. And we will tell of Christmas during the Second World War\, of the tradition known as Window Night\, of the Whoville-like tree-lighting ceremony that filled the town with song\, and more. \nMeet by the Rochester Brunch House at the corner of Third and Walnut at 7 p.m. \nThis event is free to RAHS members. A suggested donation of $5 is appreciated from nonmembers. Other ways to RSVP: email us at rahsupdates@gmail.com or call us and leave a message at 248-266-5440. \nPhoto: Rochester’s Annual Christmas Parade on Main Street\, c. 1970.
