Halloween Land Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 It sucks that pretty much all festivals are cancelled this year. Summer won't feel the same without certain festivals. I'm going to miss the Independence day celebrations this year, especially Penfield's celebrations, they put on a great firework show! What festivals will you miss?

I also will miss people watching at the webster firemans carnival. we also love to go to the canadian/american festival in the thousand islands, and that's out the window.

Has a lot of good food, and is kind of like an official kickoff to summer. It's canceled. I hate 2020. Are you talking about the St. Rita's Fiesta?

Metal Man Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 NYS Fair Though it hasn't been officially cancelled yet I can't imagine an event that draws around 100k people a day is going to be able to happen in 2.5 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 CNE. Last attended in 1979, when Bride #1 was alive, bought her a wok at a vendors that she just had to have. Still in the original bag, unused, when she died in 2005. I thought I would go the last few years, but the stagehands' strike, my health, and various other issues have prevented me. We all know the 2020 story. I guess I am just not meant to attend that event. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 The Great Blue Heron Music Festival. It's a small, laid-back, weekend gathering on a farm near Sherman, NY. Tickets are reasonably priced, camping is free (or fairly inexpensive if you want to upgrade), and you can bring your own food and beverages - even into the venue. I agree with Exiled that most music festivals are overpriced, but the Heron is very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I'm holding out hope that the NYS Fair won't be cancelled, but all signs point to it probably will. One person I saw posted on the FB that they have insider info it will be cancelled, but nothing I've seen yet has made it official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Washington County (NY) Fair, in late August, still has not been canceled. Would have liked to have gone to Knot Fest again. I don't do parades, so I don't care about those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I miss the Allentown art festival. They did a nice website online so you can still go to the vendor sites and order, but I am someone who like to see the art in person. After that I had all my chips in on Lewiston, but they canceled that last week. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Taste of Buffalo is always a great time Non festival stuff that is still fitting: Had tickets to see the Rolling Stones at the stadium Making it out to St. John Fisher to catch a Bills practice Tuesday in the Park Artpark concerts WNY runs off of festivals in the summer time.

Just Jack Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 So we were going to see Melissa Etheridge in April, but that got pushed back to October. We hadn't heard anything new, so I just looked at her tour page... https://www.melissaetheridge.com/events Every venue is listed as postponed, except for ours. I'm gonna guess it will end up postponed also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a restaurant up the mountain that has live music every Friday and Saturday. My wife and I went up there last weekend. Just a woman and a man, both playing acoustic guitars and taking requests. It was really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeviF Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I normally do a summer concert thread starting in May every year. Pretty upset about 2020 sucking so hard because I had some decent shows lined up to work/attend. All the normal summer block party type things didn’t happen and I doubt any of the big fall events around here will go on. Pretty depressed tbh. C’est la vie.
