Heritage Festival
Greater Rochester Heritage Days Festival May 30 & 31, 2026 Rochester Municipal Park Saturday 10am–6pm · Sunday 10am–5pm Free & open to the public
Come celebrate Rochester's history and heritage this Memorial Day weekend at Rochester Municipal Park — and stop by the Rochester Pollinators and DAR Stoney Creek Chapter tent for some family fun!
Children's Liberty Garden — Free Native Plants!
As part of America 250, the Stoney Creek Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is giving away free native Michigan plants to families. Kids can adopt their own plant, make a seed bomb to take home, and earn an official Pollinator Hero certificate.
The plants available include Purple Coneflower, Black-Eyed Susan, Bee Balm, Rose Milkweed, Sand Coreopsis, Wild Petunia, Foxglove Beardtongue, and Lavender Beardtongue — all Michigan natives that support Monarchs, bumblebees, hummingbirds, and more.
At the tent your kids can:
- Adopt a free native Michigan plant
- Make a seed bomb to grow at home
- Earn an official Pollinator Hero certificate
- Pick up coloring books and Revolutionary War handouts
Heritage Days also features the 45th Annual Festival of Cars, fishing derby, live music, food trucks, a petting farm, Touch-A-Truck, and so much more for the whole family.
We hope to see you there!
Presented by the Stoney Creek Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, American 250 MI in partnership with Rochester Pollinators.
