The Sweeps Festival is a colorful mix of music, dancing and entertainment with more than 60 Morris groups and entertainers celebrating throughout the three-day festival.

The Sweeps Festival, 2nd – 4th May, lots of the children dress as chimney sweeps. The festival included the Jack-in-the-Green ceremony, a seven-foot character that the sweeps used to waken at dawn on Blue Bell Hill, Chatham. The Jack-in-the-Green walks with the chimney sweeps in the parade.

The Sweeps Festival brings the center of Rochester alive with music and dance.
