In a Northern Town, winters can be a bit longer, and to keep that
body warm, we keep the furnace stoked with lots of hot and tasty dishes. More than
chicken wings and Beef on Weck, you will find every cuisine represented here, from
Asian to Mexican, from Greek to fine dining, also represented some of our fine wines
from the wine region of New York. In larger than bite size portions, so you
can try them all, wow ! where do i start!

Maybe my favorite festival of all, Allentown is a beautiful Historic
district that embodies the charms of old Buffalo. With its Victorian houses, stained
glass and quaint little pubs and restaurants, among, tiny 19th century streets,
Allentown is the perfect setting for this festival. Artists and Artisians come from
miles around, south, east, west and Canada, take their places and sell their wares.
As always hot food and cold beer are plenty full. Adjacent to this festival is original
music festival, aptly titled Music Is Art Festival,
created by Robby Takac bassist for Buffalos Goo Goo Dolls, this is one place where
Buffalo showcases some of its new and upcoming acts, come check em out!

Juneteenth was the oldest known observance
of the ending of slavery in the United States. According to historical records,
the celebration began on June 19, 1865, the day Major General Gordon Granger of
the Union Army rode into Galveston, Texas in final execution of the Emancipation
Proclamation.
Issued by President Abraham Lincoln on September 22, 1862, the Emancipation Proclamation
stated, among other things, "That on the 1st day of January, A.D., 1863, all persons
held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State the people whereof
shall they be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward,
and forever free..."
Our Buffalo Juneteenth Festival takes place on Genesee Street home
to African American community. The festival is filled with Music, Entertainment
and History of the Black people of Buffalo. Buffalo has a rich African american
community and history that dates from the Underground Railroad, the
Michigan Street Baptist Church, which dates pre- civil War, and even includes
the oldest still running Colored Musicians
club in America.

The pride of Buffalos Polish community. Buffalo has a huge Polish
community, as Polish people immigrated through New York in the early days, many
found a home in Buffalo, N.Y. Much like their homeland, Buffalo was a northern town
with a hard work ethic and a blue collar backbone. The Polish immigrants fit right
in. Dyngus day is a day to celebrate their Polish heritage. In the old Polish
neighborhood, East Buffalo is where the immigrants got their start, with flagship
churchs like St. Stanislaus and Corpus Christi, Buffalo once held the title of the
largest polish catholic community in America. The Architecture of these churches
is beautiful as is the charm of the old Broadway Market a landmark, where you can
still find old world sausages, and delicious polish baked goods. The East side of
Buffalo is also home to the old Broadway Train Terminal, now in restoration, still
a art deco reminder of Buffalos' dominance in rail at one time 2nd in the country.

Always aware that we are a border town, Buffalo enjoys the advantage
of Canadian culture, music, art and customs. This festival, is evidence to our 200
year history of peace across borders. Buffalonians share and uncommon similarity
to our neighbors in Ontario, growing up on Canada Dry, Coffee Crisp, and Labatt
and Molson beers, we have a very Canadian friendly city, evidence to why, we have
many prominent Canadians living here. In a town where you can have lunch in Canada
and be back in time for a board meeting, or play a round of golf in southern Ontario
and still be home for dinner, in Buffalo, we enjoy the best of both worlds. This
4 day festival celebrates the friendship of the u.s.a. and Canada on both sides
of the bridge, with Music, bands and food... Celebrating both Canada Day and Independence
Day, you have events running on both sides... Is it any wonder our Bridge to Canada
is appropriately named the f="http://PeaceBridge.com">Peace Bridge!

A tradition that started in the 80s and originally called Thursday
in the Park is an after work get together at Lafayette square. It is just across
from city hall. Hundreds if not thousands get together after work every Thursday.
Some of the highlights were Kim Mitchell playing for over 20,000 and the record
breaker Pat Benatar playing for over 40,000. This is an absolutely free event, as
coolers and drinks are not allowed, however, beer, water, wine, and other drinks
are available for purchase at the concessions along with food, including pizza,
Italian sausage and other buffalo favorites such as Beef on Weck.
