Things to Do This Weekend Around Monroe County

There’s something about early May in Monroe County—it starts to feel like everyone’s coming back outside again.

You’ve got live theatre, outdoor tours, hands-on workshops, music, and a full lineup of Mother’s Day weekend events, which means this is one of those weekends where you can go as full—or as relaxed—as you want.

And if you’re looking for something local, easy, and genuinely community-driven… there’s one event this weekend that stands out for exactly that reason.

Top Ten Must-Do's

1. Community Pop-Up in Webster

A casual spring get-together designed for neighbors, families, and friends to simply spend time together. Stop by for coffee, ice cream, free mini photo sessions, and space for kids to play—no agenda, no pressure, just an easy way to connect locally.

2. After-Hours Tour: Upstairs & Downstairs

A unique evening experience at Genesee Country Village & Museum that takes you behind the scenes of historic life.

8. Mother’s Day Brunch at Woodcliff Hotel & Spa

9. 4th Annual Mother’s Day Psychic Faire

A more unique take on a Sunday outing with vendors, readings, and a relaxed atmosphere.

Why This Matters (Yes, Even for Real Estate)

This is one of those weekends where you can feel the shift into spring.

You’ve got:

  • A Friday night out
  • A full Saturday of events (or a simple neighborhood pop-up)
  • A Sunday that can be as social or as quiet as you want

That balance is what people tend to notice after they move here—it’s not just about big events, it’s about having options that actually fit your life.
