Buffalo Place is proud to announce the 10th Anniversary season of Thursday & Main, Downtown Buffalo’s free outdoor summer concert series, returning to Fountain Plaza weekly from June 4th through July 30th (with no event on July 2nd). Presented by M&T Bank, the milestone season will feature a dynamic and diverse lineup of local favorites, nationally touring acts, and crowd-pleasing favorites & continuing a decades-long tradition of bringing live music to the heart of Downtown.
This free, open-to-the-public happy hour concert series, held Thursday evenings at Fountain Plaza on Main Street (south of Chippewa Street), carries forward the mission of Thursday at the Square: to create vibrancy in Downtown Buffalo while supporting local restaurants, bars, and businesses through increased foot traffic and community engagement.
The energy carries into Thursday, June 25th, as Buffalo Place presents a night of iconic hits and local talent with The Black Rock Beatles and The Shakermakers. A beloved staple of the Western New York music scene, The Black Rock Beatles are known for their faithful and energetic renditions of The Beatles’ legendary catalog, capturing both the precision and spirit of the original recordings. Kicking off the night, The Shakermakers will deliver a crowd-pleasing tribute to Oasis, packed with anthemic hits and singalong favorites.
