It’s officially that time of year again… Thursdays are back Downtown!

For their 7th season, Buffalo Place is hosting their annual FREE outdoor summer series, Thursday & Main. Every Thursday from June 8th through July 27th (5pm-8pm), Downtown Buffalo at Fountain Plaza will be the hot spot for happy hour and live entertainment.  

Presented by M&T Bank, the series continues to pay homage to the Buffalo Place-produced summer tradition, Thursday at the Square which dates all the way back to 1988! Continuing the mission of Thursday at the Square, Thursday & Main is connecting Western New Yorkers with Downtown restaurants, bars, and retailers as well as live music and happy hour drinks.
