Perform at Our Events

Be a Vendor at Our Events

We welcome food and beverage vendors to help create a fun, festive atmosphere at Rochester Public Music events.

Applications for summer 2025 are now closed. Interested in 2026? Vendor applications typically open in spring.

FORWARD: Managed by Rochester Public Music
Riverside Music Series: Managed by Mayo Civic Center

Future opportunities will be posted here as they become available.

To learn more or ask a question, email us at publicmusic@rochestermn.gov.

Community Booths & Partner Participation (FORWARD)

Interested in being part of FORWARD as a community partner or activity booth?

We reserve space for partners who meet one or more of the following:

Offer non-commercial, mission-aligned activities that are free, fun, and inclusive
Support the event through sponsorship, staffing, or logistics
Provide hands-on engagement that adds value for attendees (e.g., art stations or games)

We do not host passive info tables, campaign materials, or commercial promotions. FORWARD is a music-first event, and space is limited.

Think your activity is a good fit? Email us to start a conversation: publicmusic@rochestermn.gov
