ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Reminding the city of its natural wonders. That was the goal of Thursday’s “Dinner on the Bridge,” fundraiser.
Local nonprofit Greentopia gathered supporters on Rochester’s Pont de Rennes Bridge for a night of dinning, music, and even a laser show.
Organizers say the reason they chose that bridge was to get people interested in the site of the future High Falls State Park.

“Look, we have a 96 foot high waterfall, we have a river and a gorge. Let’s celebrate, let’s bring people back to the river, and let’s make a park,” said Lisa Baron, executive director of Greentopia.
In a segment on Rochester In Focus prior to the dinner, Baron previewed the event and discussed the importance of Greentopia.
