Rochester Subway Gala Event
Sunday, June 21, 2026 (5:00 PM - 9:00 PM) (EDT)
Description
Join us for a 1950's Cocktail Party!
Step back into the golden age of Rochester transit at the Rochester Subway Gala, a 1950s-themed evening of classic cocktails, cinema, and history on Sunday, June 21. Held at the elegant George Eastman House, this special fundraising event marks the 70th anniversary of the end of Rochester Subway service while supporting local historic preservation.
Guests will enjoy a cocktail reception with drinks and heavy hors d’oeuvres before a private screening of End of the Line 2.0 in the historic Dryden Theatre, followed by a moderated Q&A with the film’s producers. Dressing up in period “Mad Men”–style 1950s attire is encouraged to help set the mood for an evening inspired by mid-century Rochester.
All net proceeds from the event benefit the restoration of Rochester Subway Car 60, the last surviving car from the Rochester Subway, now undergoing restoration at the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum. Celebrate Rochester’s past, support hands-on preservation, and help bring an iconic piece of the city’s transportation history back to life.
Tickets are $125 per person and include one complimentary drink ticket, cocktail reception, and admission to the screening and Q&A. A cash bar will be available. Tickets may be purchased at: https://rochestertrainrides.com/event/rochestersubwaygala/
