What a fabulous event. Remember how great Thursday in the Square was before it was moved to Canalside. With the exception of seeing the water only as it cascades from the stone fountain structure you may find the music, food and beverage offerings satisfying - last night the George Scott Big Band entertained. Please don't miss this FREE event this summer (except for cost of food and beverage - offering beer, wine, great grilled hot dogs, Frankie Primo's last night represented with a tasty antipasto salad). Some of the food offerings change weekly but you won't be disappointed. Put it on your calendar to attend. Next week Lazlo Holllyfield. My wish is that you enjoy this as much as I have last night and last week when the Strictly Hip played.

I should've taken some pictures, but I was driving my family so I let them do the picture taking. It's free. It's amazing. This year (2025 Xmas season) the 100% of the donations collected will go to a charity by the name of Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Worthwhile cause for sure. They build beds for children in the city of Buffalo who are in need of beds.

Do you like driving around during the Christmas season to check out all the holiday decirations? Well this is an amazing neighborhood where over 300 houses get together and decorate for this holiday event. They even supply a map of the best route to take to be able to see everything. It runs from Thanksgiving night until New Years Day. The event is free but there's spots along the route to make donations. Each year they give the donations to a different organization. This past year (2024) the money was going to the Lancaster Depew Boys & Girls Club. Remember - Thanksgiving night 2025 2025-9

I had the breaded fish, ff, lazy pierogi & coleslaw. I would pass on the fries next they were frozen fries I would definitely go with the baked or tater tots. The star of the plate would have to be the lazy pierogi, loaded with mushrooms & butter. The half fish is $18 and full is $22. Our bill came to $52 for 2 whole fish fries & four beers. The dining area could use a little more character but it's clean and the waitresses were attentive.

He was always so proud of being a member. This particular hall is large and very clean, including the rest rooms. The bar for this event was serving free beer and pop. You could purchase mixed drinks for a nominal fee. The bartender was quick and friendly. The setup worked well for the meat raffle. The space can also be used/rented for other large gatherings. Thank you to all the veterans for your service. 2923-107

Because they fight for the rights of all, not just immigrants. This annual fundraiser brings all sorts of Buffalonians together - those who've lived here their whole lives and some who came last week. It's price point is low, making it available for all. The event has food from around the world, so again, everyone will find something they like. They have various restaurants, from the Canadians making poutine to the Japanese with raw fish to chocolates from the native Buffalonians. Also, Chinese, Burmese, ice cream (Italian?), and more. There are also plenty of things available to purchase for yourself or gifts. All sorts of fun ethnic gifts from various shops around town. Great annual event.

We've been to the Buffalo without Borders event 2 or 3 years in a row now and it's a great event…read more There is a wide array of food options from "around the world." I love that you can try new places (e.g., we found a new German restaurant) or try different dishes from old favorites (e.g., Sun Restaurant) - where I usually get the pad thai but in the future will also be rotating in the delicious black rice dish. The event is nice in that there are a lot of options that your average person may not have experienced (e.g., Burmese, Ethiopian) mixed with things that are more mainstream - like potato pancakes from Germany or poutine from Canada. The only thing that keeps this event from being a 5-start is the seating situation. The event has gained in popularity and it can be hard to juggle the food. There are maybe half a dozen large round tables with chairs and another half dozen to a dozen cocktail tables. People who come with groups stake them out and stay the night. Even if the seat is empty it is not uncommon to be told that it is taken. Some of the dishes you can eat standing up but others (e.g., soup) are hard to eat without some sort of surface. (Thus, the lack of food photos from me...) I love that you get a map of the world and that you get stamped at each location you visit. Every year we try to make it to all the stops but there is always too much food to quite pull it off - even with some sharing. All around, a great event!

They gave everyone a bucket and shovel to use along with an identification card. We brought our own rock hammers and tools.

Harder to see with sun high. Easier to find after rain. I wish I had brought a water spray bottle and a magnifying glass to use in the shelter area. Great activity for anyone 3 and up.
