The Main Block Party is a free, family-friendly celebration that brings together fashion, food, music, art, small businesses, and community in the heart of Downtown Buffalo.
Hosted by Buffalo Fashion Runway and presented by M&T Bank as part of its Meet Me Downtown initiative, The Main Block Party invites residents and visitors alike to experience the energy, creativity, and culture that make Buffalo special.
