Hi there! It’s Bianca 👋
Founder of RocOnly Events.
I am also a vendor/wise-ass/Virgo/cat mom.

Let’s back up a little….
I started Harsh Astrology during the pandemic because everything felt heavy and serious, and I needed a little levity(and a lot of sarcasm) to help lighten the mood. As a lifelong astrology nerd, I thought it’d be funny to roast people based on their signs (because, obviously, “the stars are to blame”).

After a couple of years of selling at markets all over Rochester, Syracuse, and Buffalo, I decided it was time to put my Virgo brain to work and run events myself. Through my work with Unlock The ROC, I’ve always loved showcasing what makes Rochester special, so creating RocOnly felt like the perfect way to connect talented artisans with local venues. The idea was simple—give people a reason to shop and stick around to enjoy the spaces, too.

Fast forward three years, and I’m blown away by how much RocOnly has grown. I’ve learned so much, met so many incredible people, and couldn’t be more grateful for the support from this community and the artists who make these events so special. “Thank you” doesn’t feel big enough. Here’s to whatever comes next!

❤️HAPPY THANKSGIVING❤️

Have you visited The Old Farm Cafe yet? (located in the Winton Place plaza - great parking! 🚗)

If you haven’t, now’s your chance‼️
On Sunday, October 20th, from 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., we are having A Halloween-Themed Market in their magical, straight from a storybook cafe and their rehearsal space within the same building. (FREE ENTRY)

So, how did the cafe come about?

“The OFC Creations Theatre Center THRIVES on coffee – it keeps us moving through rehearsals, camps, and non-stop performances. That got us thinking about how we could enhance your experience of getting a cup of coffee with friends, working on your laptop away from the office, or hosting your next celebration event.”

Thus, a cafe was born, with a theatrical twist 🎭

The mimosa bar, tarot reader, and additional vendors can be found in the connected rehearsal space! Great food, great seasonal beverage options, live music with AJ DiNoto Musician🎶 and over 20 amazing local artisans selling SPOOPY wares (yes, spoopy is a word!)

FREE ENTRY - (come in costume!) bring the whole family and we will see you on the farm this weekend😉
