Join us the the 66th annual Allentown Art Festival on Saturday, June 10th and Sunday, June 11th, 2023 from 11am to 6pm.
The Allentown Art Festival has been a fixture on the Buffalo cultural calendar for more than 60 years. First held in 1958 when it was known as “The Buffalo Art Festival,” the event has come to signal the coming of Buffalo’s summer season as thousands of Buffalonians and out-of-town visitors take to the streets in the first of a jam-packed calendar of special summer events. The festival gets its name from the surrounding neighborhood that was named after an early 1800s businessman named Lewis Allen.
WHERE IS THE ALLENTOWN ART FESTIVAL LOCATED?
The event is held in and around the corner of Delaware Avenue and Allen Street, just north of downtown Buffalo. The neighborhood has always been considered Buffalo’s “artsy” or bohemian district, and is packed with shops, galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and bars that make it a fun place to visit any time of the year. But during “Allentown,” as locals tend to call the festival, the neighborhood really shines with a special urban energy and funky vibe.
