Rochester Residents Invited to Christmas on the Common

ROCHESTER — The Rochester Recreation and Police Departments are pleased to invite residents to enjoy a new holiday tradition by taking part in Christmas on the Common next month.

WHEN: 

Saturday, Dec. 15, from 4-9 p.m.

WHERE: 

Rochester Common, South Main Street

WHAT:

In its inaugural year, Christmas on the Common will feature a variety of family-friendly holiday activities.

Children will have the opportunity to meet Santa, and are also encouraged to bring their Christmas lists to deliver them personally to St. Nick.

The event will also include Christmas carols performed by the Granite State Choral Society, hot chocolate provided by Dunkin’ Donuts and an outdoor screening of “The Polar Express” on an inflatable screen in the Common.

Following the movie screening, there will be a bonfire to help attendees keep warm.

“This is an exciting new tradition that I expect will help bring residents together to celebrate the holiday season,” Rochester Police Community Engagement Officer Kyle Danie said.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming residents of all ages for an evening of fun,” Recreation Supervisor Art Jacobs said. “I hope the whole community will join us for this event.”

The entire event takes place outdoors, so residents should dress warmly and bring their own chairs and blankets to enjoy the movie.
