Northfield Common Creators Fest 2026

Join us for the 4th Annual Northfield Common Creators Fest at 50 State St. in Pittsford on Saturday, June 13, from 11 a.m.–4 p.m. I’m excited to be part of the festivities on the front porch of Notion, where I’ll be signing copies of my Rochester-area books, including Day Trips Around Rochester, Hidden Places Around Rochester, and Highland Park.

Stroll along the canal and explore a vibrant collection of local art, makers, live music, food trucks, and coffee from Neutral Ground Coffeehouse. This family and dog-friendly afternoon is the perfect chance to support local creators in the heart of Northfield Common—hope to see you there! Learn more
