Welcome to Our City!!

While visiting the Queen City, you too can discover the city's unique appeal that drew so many visitors here a century ago. In addition to a four-season climate, plenty of fresh water and a host of natural resources, Buffalo also boasts prominent architecture, world-class entertainment and renowned performing arts.

A year-round spirit of entertainment complements Buffalo's permanent attractions. Spring in Buffalo brings with it blooming flowers, budding trees and a wide assortment of ethnic festivals. If you're more interested in the cultural side of the city, summer also brings along the best of that genre. Free productions of Shakespeare in the Park are held nightly in the beautiful rose gardens of Delaware Park and the nearby Albright-Knox art gallery showcases weekly jazz performances on its open-air patio. Fall is ushered in by downtown's "Curtain Up!" bash, a dramatic gathering of a dozen new plays and the city's devoted theatergoers. Autumn in Western New York brings with it the brilliant reds, oranges and golds of fall foliage. One look at the local scenery and you will understand why so many natives call this time of year a favorite. This is also a perfect chance to explore the nearby suburbs and countryside or to shop in a local harvest market.
