Garden Walk Buffalo attracts visitors from around the U.S., Canada and beyond. Tens of thousands of visitors visit beautiful Buffalo to enjoy the creativity and work of its best ambassadors - its gardeners.

“The Buffalo AKG Art Museum’s new campus enables us to serve tens of thousands more visitors every year,” says Peggy Pierce Elfvin Director Janne Sirén. “The museum will be more welcoming, inclusive, thought-provoking, and fun than ever before.”

The more welcoming and inclusive museum will offer free admission to the Seymour H. Knox Building and the new Ralph C. Wilson Town Square, a 6,000 square-foot community gathering space that’s highlighted by Common Sky, a stunning new sculpture that covers the former outdoor sculpture garden. Adjacent to the Town Square, visitors will find the Creative Commons, a multigenerational learning and play space featuring a LEGO build station where visitors can create with LEGO bricks, scan their creations and see what they have made on a nearby digital screen. Creative Commons is the result of the first ever philanthropic partnership between the LEGO Foundation and a fine art museum.

If you’re visiting Buffalo during our glorious summer season, you’ll find that our outdoor live music offerings are abundant.

The Buffalo Outer Harbor presents a seasonal lineup of national touring acts ranging from jam band to EDM and classical music to hip-hop on its Great Lawn site and will be expanding its schedule when the new permanent amphitheater project is completed in the summer of 2024.

From the weekly free local music showcase series Thursday & Main, at Fountain Plaza in downtown Buffalo, to the Bidwell Parkway Concert Series in the Elmwood Village, annual festivals like Music is Art, Cobblestone Live and Borderland Music + Arts Festival, and more intimate waterside concerts at Old Man River in Tonawanda and Buffalo Riverworks, our region offers an embarrassment of riches to the discerning lover of outdoor concerts.

Artpark, located 25 miles north of Buffalo on the Niagara Gorge in Lewiston, boasts an incredible lineup of summer shows on its outdoor amphitheater stage, and fully stocks its indoor MainStage Theatre roster as well. The bucolic setting can make for a transformative live music experience, with bands performing against the backdrop of the Niagara Gorge, with Canada in full view across the river, and often stunning sunsets commingling with the performance to create something akin to magic. It has been suggested that Artpark is our region’s own version of the jaw-droppingly beautiful Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, and a visit to the venue underscores such a notion. From contemporary indie to classic rock, alternative to funk and soul, jazz and classical to modern rock, Artpark’s schedule keeps Buffalo music lover’s busy during the summer months and is a mandatory stop for out-of-towners.
