State of the City Address 2026

About This Event

The annual State of the City address for Rochester, Michigan. Event begins with a ribbon cutting at 5:30 PM.

What to Expect

• 1.The ribbon cutting is at 5:30 PM, an hour before the address begins at 6:30 PM. Arrive early if you want to catch both.
• 2.This is a civic update, not a rally or performance. Expect remarks about Rochester and city priorities, with a mostly attentive audience.
• 3.City Hall is the venue, so expect a straightforward government-building setting rather than a large event hall. Follow posted signs for the event room.
• 4.Plan for a seated program that runs until 8:00 PM. Arriving a few minutes before the address gives you time to find a seat without interrupting.
• 5.Food and drink are not mentioned in the event details, so do not count on refreshments; eat beforehand if you will need them.
