Rochester Mural Festival

A free, annual mural festival where invited artists paint eight large new murals over one week to win substantial prizes. A "Rochybalds" competition is also open to local artists who design and create 7" x 7" canvases to the same theme as the main mural artists. Come and visit the Mural Park and interact with the artists as they work. You can vote for People's Choice at 'the voting tree' with a gold coin. All artworks are for sale including the current year's mini murals and large murals (except the winner). Devonshire teas are available in the historic courthouse over the road. Judging and festive awards presentations are at 11:30am on 5 April, 2025. This is a popular community event with plenty for everyone.
