Childs Street, Buffalo, NY
September 8, 2012
City of Night - Official Website
The event focuses on history,
sustainability, art, and culture by having a number of great activities
like kayaking on the Buffalo River, art instillations, live murals,
tours of the grain elevators, and much more. There will also be seven
bands performing live music, including Free Henry, the band that
recently played at this week's Live at Larkin event. It all begins this Saturday at 4 pm and goes until 2 am the following day, which means a ten-hour party and better yet, the chance to see the sunset at the grain elevators. - Mike Puma, Don't Miss City of Night at Silo City Tomorrow Buffalo Rising
