More about the Wine & Food Walk....

The Wine & Food Walk is a fun event hosted by the East Rochester Chamber of Commerce.   A portion of West Commercial Street is closed with local businesses setting up tents and providing Wine & Food Samplings (4:30 PM to 7:00 PM).   Food trucks will also be on site.  Following this event is a free concerts from (7:00 PM to 9:00 PM) to be performed by DAWGS for a CAUZ.     The $25 gets you a Wine Glass to travel from tent to tent for samples.  

All proceeds raised ($25) goes to benefit “The Brenton Jacob Memorial Fund” which was founded in 2013 to honor the 2004 ERHS graduate, who died unexpectedly at the age of 26.   Their organization honors his memory and offers opportunities for East Rochester children to discover their passion and talents in sports.  For more information about the Brenton Jacob Memorial Fund, visit their website at Brenton Jacob Memorial Fund    
 
In 2024, our Chamber President  Stephen D’Orazio unexpectedly passed away. Steve was a great family man who was hard working, caring, and supportive of East Rochester in so many ways.  Last year the Wine & Food walk was renamed the Stephen V. D'Orazio Memorial Wine & Food Walk in honor of Steve.    

This year (2025) will be our 5th  year having the event.    
 
DAWGS for a CAUZ is a local Rochester Band that partners with charitable organizations to raise money and awareness through interactive live music events. Their model is built around accepting no compensation for performances. 100% of all proceeds flow directly to their charity partners.
