BUFFALO, N.Y. — Festival Fest is the thing I do where I talk about things to do in Western New York.
Like the strawberry festival in Albion.
Or the New York State Yoga Festival at Letchworth.
Or the South Buffalo Porchfest in South Buffalo.
Welcome.
June is jam-packed with fun and festivals and good clean fun.
Let's get into it!
Allentown shines this weekend as it has for more than 50 years with its annual Art Festival. It draws tens of thousand of people and artists from all over the country. It is one of the largest festivals of its kind. It goes on alongside the Allen West Festival that focuses on the work of local artists.
The 2019 Susan G. Komen Western New York More than Pink Walk is Saturday at Riverworks. It has a new name and this year does not have a timed run. Channel 2 is a proud sponsor.
