OPERATION PATRIOT

Named after University of Rochester alum Todd M. Beamer's heroic last words aboard United Flight 93, the annual "Let's Roll!" 9/11 Tribute at Ontario Beach Park honors first responders and military personnel.

Witness the solidarity of a thunderous motorcycle parade symbolizing unity and respect, followed by a brief memorial ceremony featuring soul-stirring bagpipers and special performances by Rochester’s top musicians.

Attendees will enjoy an exhilarating concert by a stellar lineup of local and regional bands, indulge in delectable food truck rodeo options, sip cold brews from the beer garden, and explore the bustling vendor fair of 30+ vendors. Open to everyone, bring your lawn chairs and join the community in commemorating our heroes.
