ROCHESTER - Beautiful weather and pleasant temperatures on Sunday blessed Rochester's Fifth Annual Porchfest where some 30 bands played live music at popup stages around the downtown.
Thhe free outdoor music festival allowed eventgoers to walk all over the downtown to hear a plethora of genres, including pop, reggae, roots, folk, country and rap.
The bands included 25-Cent Habit, Seattle and The World Famouth Toes, who played for the afterparty at the Garage at Governors Inn.
"The event saw thousands of music fans throughout the afternoon," said Rochester Voice music columnist CC Bissett. "I'm sure they made a lot of money for RPAC."
