Something exciting is taking shape in downtown Buffalo this summer.
What began with the Buffalo Jazz Festival Prelude event and the Buffalo Jazz Festival last summer has evolved into a growing movement focused on bringing more life, energy, music, arts, culture, and community experiences to Ellicott Street, the Electric District, and Downtown Buffalo.
JazzBuffalo and ArtsBuffalo are proud to be part of this collaborative effort alongside outstanding businesses, sponsors, artists, and community partners, helping reimagine downtown Buffalo as a vibrant destination once again.
From the Summer of Jazz Series and JazzMondays to the Buffalo Jazz Festival, Friday night concerts, outdoor activations, and much more—there is so much ahead to look forward to this summer.

Another exciting week of jazz, arts, and community gatherings continues throughout Buffalo.
From sold-out evenings like we had Art Meets Jazz and the upcoming sold-out Emmet Cohen Miles & Coltrane at 100 celebration at Jazz at Kleinhans, to the sold-out The Jazz Lounge, to JazzMondays returning soon to the Tappo Rooftop Patio and the Summer of Jazz Series arriving on Ellicott Street, there is tremendous momentum building throughout our city.
We are especially grateful for the growing support surrounding efforts to help make downtown Buffalo a vibrant destination once again through music, arts, culture, and shared experiences.
