The International Plaza, a joint effort between the City of Rochester and Ibero American Development Corporation, is a Latin-themed event space and marketplace located at 828 North Clinton Avenue, Rochester. It features a variety of vendors and vending options, ranging from pop-up tents and carts to more permanent locations housed in retail kiosks, a performance pavilion, dedicated restrooms and a service/storage building. The International Plaza provides a community gathering space to celebrate and build on the arts and cultural assets of the surrounding neighborhood and a spot where local entrepreneurs and existing businesses can locate and sell their products and services in a low risk, low cost, flexible environment that is an incubator for neighborhood economic development.
Market Days at The International Plaza bring affordable opportunities for NYS farmers, local and new entrepreneurs, and established businesses looking to expand. Vendors can connect to new markets potentially increasing their profits. Market Days are Thursdays, 5 to 8 p.m., and Sundays, 1 to 5 p.m.
