Totally Buffalo Festival 2026

Considered “the original shop local event,” the Totally Buffalo Festival will once again take place at Buffalo RiverWorks on Memorial Day weekend!

Celebrate Memorial Weekend on the water & with 100 local artisans, great food, awesome drinks and loads of fun activities for the entire family.

As for the festival, this family-friendly kick off into summer features over 100 local vendors, live music, family-friendly entertainment, and Buffalo-inspired items including apparel, jewelry, signs, home decor, and candles.

The festival was first held as a way to support small, local businesses that didn’t have storefronts of their own. Today, that tradition continues, as Mary Friona-Celani’s vision grows year after year.

Along with all of the festival activities, RiverWorks has amusement attractions such as a Kids Ropes Course, a Game Room Arcade, the Buffal-“O” Ferris Wheel, a Kid’s Train, a Fun Slide, the Happy Viking spin ride, and the Jawz Drop small scale drop tower for youngsters.
