Summary
168 vendors are set to join Rochester’s final ROC the Block Community Employment Fair of 2026 on Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Parcel 5 downtown.
The event is designed to connect job seekers with local employers, recruiters and community organizations, capping the city’s community-based hiring push for the year.
The city’s Workforce Development Mobile Unit will be on site with Wi-Fi and laptops so attendees can update résumés and submit applications during the fair.
ROC the Block has rotated through Rochester’s four quadrants in a block-party-style format over the summer and early fall, bringing hiring events directly into neighborhoods.
