Rochesterfest 2026
Rochesterfest is committed to promoting and celebrating the city of Rochester and southeast Minnesota annually by connecting people through a variety of wholesome, entertaining community events.
In 2026, our nation will celebrate a monumental milestone — the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America! Rochesterfest is proud to honor this historic occasion with a week of music, family fun, and patriotic pride at Soldier’s Field in Rochester, June 20–28, 2026.
Our theme for this special year is “One Nation – Many Stories.” This theme celebrates the rich tapestry of people, cultures, and experiences that make up America’s identity. From the nation’s founding to today, every community, family, and individual has contributed a unique chapter to the American story. Together, these stories reflect our shared values of freedom, resilience, and unity — reminding us that though our journeys are diverse, we are bound together as one nation with a common spirit and purpose.
