Our water is safe and working! Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) Water Main Break this morning is only impacting the east side residents of Rochester (east of Letica). Downtown is on the City of Rochester water system which is not impacted and is fully operational!

Just in. Tonight’s fireworks 🎇 postponed until tomorrow due to inclement weather.

The Festival of Hills has always been extremely important to our community and is one of the highlights of summer in Rochester Hills. However, we will never compromise the safety of our team and the safety of everyone who enjoys this event. With that being said, with the inclement weather in the forecast, we have made the decision to postpone Festival of the Hills once again and will host a scaled-down version tomorrow July 27. This scaled-down version will start at 8 pm with the fireworks show at 10 pm. The ONLY activities outside of the fireworks show will be “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” and the entertainment on the stage, which both will start at 8pm. There will also be a limited number of food trucks on site. We truly appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we have navigated this process.
