FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Meet the themed bars and DJs for Social Lights 2022

ROCHESTER, Minn.—Five downtown Rochester bars/restaurants and five different DJs will enhance the experience of Social Lights presented by the Rochester Downtown Alliance March 3-5 in Peace Plaza.

Social Lights 2022 participating bars/restaurants and their themes:

Because Social Lights incorporates more light-based—rather than ice-related—elements, the participating bars will be showcased by LED light panels displaying each’s theme. New activities that feature light include blacklight basketball, a giant Lite Brite™, other illuminated games, firepits, and a Wall of Lights photo opportunity.

In addition to the new activities, the Rochester Downtown Alliance is featuring more DJs throughout the three days of the adapted event this year to appeal to a wider audience and to give the DJs respite from playing in the cold for an extended period.

Social Lights 2022 DJs schedule:

Social Lights FAM JAM provides family-friendly fun the last day of Social Lights March 5 and will include non-alcoholic beverages, s’mores, and more activities to be announced.

For Social Lights and FAM JAM details, visit DowntownRochesterMN.com/SocialLights and DowntownRochesterMN.com/SocialLightsFAMJAM, and follow along on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Social Lights and Social Lights FAM JAM are adapted versions of Social-ICE, downtown Rochester’s outdoor ice festival that celebrates all things winter, because of an expected COVID-19 surge prior to and during the scheduled event February 3-5. Working with participating downtown restaurants and local health organizations, the Rochester Downtown Alliance decided to reschedule the event to March and incorporate more light-based, rather than ice-related, elements.
