Rochesterfest Treasure Hunt Starts—$500 to whoever finds the hidden Treasure. Sponsored by KAALTV and Hiller Carpets.
The 2026 Rochesterfest Treasure Medallion has been found!
Congratulations to 9-year-old Eli, our successful treasure hunter! Eli and his family regularly spend time at the playground at Silver Lake Park, and during one of their visits, he discovered the Rochesterfest Treasure Medallion buried near a large tree.
When asked how he found it so quickly, the answer was simple: a little dumb luck and a lot of persistence! 😊
Eli will receive his $500 grand prize at Rochesterfest this week. Congratulations to Eli and his family on a great find!
Thank you to the hundreds of Rochester-area treasure hunters who joined the fun, followed the clues, and made this year’s Treasure Hunt such a success. We hope to see all of you back again for the 2027 Rochesterfest Treasure Hunt!
A special thank you as well to our Treasure Hunt sponsors, Hiller Flooring and KAAL TV, for helping make this Rochesterfest tradition possible.
Now it’s time for the celebration to begin—Rochesterfest starts Tuesday at Soldier’s Field! Join us for great music, fantastic children’s activities, delicious food, and the community spirit that makes Rochesterfest so special.
